Coaches Comments: We have many experienced returners on both sides of the ball that will benefit our team greatly. Our biggest challenge will be moving from 4A into district 10-5A. District Outlook: Allen, Plano East, Plano West and McKinney Boyd.

Returning Lettermen: 26

* S-Jontrell Rocquemore

Notes:
* Moving up to Class 5A after a winless season in 4A last year
* 11 game losing streak
* 7 year losing streak (22-50)

  • Mike Says: The Lions have a lot of challenges in front of them. The good news is that they have 15 starters coming back. The bad news is that they are from a 0-10 team. The defense will need to step up after giving up 433 points last season. QB Somborn and WR Shannon will need big years to get more numbers in the W column. Expect them to go 2-8 or 1-9 this season.
  • Chris Says: As mountains to climb go, they don't get much bigger.  An 0-10 team moving up to 5A is bad enough - an 0-10 team moving into District 10-5A is just downright wrong.  Last season they were "in" most of their games so all is not hopeless.  McKinney has a lot of experience returning so that should translate into a couple wins right there.
