Notes:
Euless Trinity only returns 3 starters and 19 lettermen but you can never count them out. They will once again be the favorites to win district 5-5A. With such a tough pre-district schedule that includes Cedar Hill and Allen look for the Trojans to finish 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and make another run to the quarterfinals.
