Notes:
The Eagles are the reigning Class 1A Division I Champions and they look to be the team to beat in 2010 if you want to win a championship. The offensive backfield of Horton, Williams and Hardin is a dangerous trio. The defense is also very solid with 8 returning starters led by talented defensive line and LB Mitchell. The Eagles regular season matchup vs. Mart could be a preview of the Division I state championship game come December.
