DE Cy Wilson 69 tackles 5 sacks

Notes:
Aledo is set once again to have a 9+ win season in 2009. They are not returning a lot of starters but SOPH RB Johnathan Gray could be a 1500 yard back and the defense is returning a few stars. Another run to the Area or Regional round and a 8-2 or 9-1 finish to the regular season is what they should be capable of. The game to watch is when they play Birdville. They handled that game easily in 2008 but this year it should be the battle for the distric title.
