Just curious as to early favorites for D2 and D3 with what they have returning and with the new district set up. Who has a tough division etc..
D2
District 1
Watauga does not lose too many kids this year and NCTA has their spread back (Lawrence) returning. These 2 teams played last year right out of the gate with Watauga getting the easy win although NCTA went on to play in the state finals.
District 2
This should be an interesting district!
Bracken loses 5 but replaces them with 5 upcoming seniors. Nakalanga returns for guaranteed extra points and you might as well just plan on not returning a kickoff. Kid has a leg. He also played a big roll on defense for them as defensive end. Should be a tough squad again this year.
NBCA lose Flores and the #1 receiver in in D3 last year (Rudd). They usually put together a tough squad but not sure they can replace the talent they lost.
Live Oak will probably be the favorite for everyone as usual but I don't think they can replace Chase Hill.
They have a load of kids on the sideline so i assume they will find a replacement.
District 3
Alpha Omega will be tough to beat this year but I think the favorite in this district has to be Lake Jackson.
Lake jackson returns most of their starters and key players from last year. Tyler Dodge will be a junior and probably the top spread back in D2. Lost a close one against Fredy last year in a game in which they lead for most of the game.
Conroe will be looking for someone to step up as they pretty much swept the house losing tons of seniors.
D3
District 1
This division could come down to Plainview and Wichita Christian. These 2 teams played a close one last year with plainview winning a close one 97-96. This year should come down to who plays defense.
District 2
8 teams in this district so this is a shot in the dark here.
I like Dallas Tyler coming out of this district followed by Greenville and Longview.
Not sure on who they have returning. I couldnt find a roster listed.
District 3
This could have been an even more competitive district if Seguin would have hung around.
Fredy will be the favorite as the hoerman brothers return. They lose a huge target in the middle as their center was a senior.
SMHC will be tough as usual. Flack returns and they only lose 2 seniors. Had a competitive squad last year losing a close one to Fredy in the quarter finals.
District 4
Baytown will be the favorite to win this district. They lose 3 seniors with one being the QB. Had a tough game against Seguin in the semifinals to end their year as Seguin went on to win state.
I could not find any info on St Francis so I assume they are a new school or dropped down from 11 man. This could make things interesting and could be the dark horse.
