Mike Says: The Loboes gave Refugio a run for their money in last years championship game by playing them closer than anyone all season long. The offense is balanced led by QB Gayle and RB Reed. The defense will also be strong with good linebackers and secondary. Look for them to go 10-0 or 9-1 in the regular season. I am looking forward to their non-district game against Stamford. Once in the playoffs, they should make it to at least the Semifinals. I think we would all like to see them get a re-match against Refugio though in the championship game.

Chris Says: What can you say about Cisco? Just about any other year, they would be the defending state champion. They ran into a buzz saw of unparalleled proportion in the Refugio and still almost pulled off the championship. While the Loboes graduated a lot of experience, they do bring back some big pieces of last season's team. Colton Gayle, Colton Kent and Mason Reed will again ensure the offense is solid. Expect Cisco to again take district and possibly go undefeated into the playoffs. After that the Loboes will make another run deep into the playoffs. Is this the year they quit playing the bridesmaid (0-4 in state championship games) and take the trophy? They may have that shot again.
