Mike Says: The Rattlers have a great chance to make it to at least the Quarterfinals. They bring back 40 lettermen from last years 12-2 team. The offensive line will be solid with D1 recruits Beyer and Korona leading the way. Look for them to go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and battle San Antonio Madison for the district title. Once in the playoffs, they should be Division II and be a force in the region.

Chris Says: San Antonio Reagan is one of those teams that you love to watch - okay, well I do anyway. This school really gets excited about every single game. They have a lot to be excited about this year - 40 returning lettermen and a boatload of starters on the defense coming back! Coach David Wetzel's Rattlers have a realistic shot at winning the Region. They seem to do better as the season goes and as they opponents get bigger.
