Mike Says: The Rangers have high expectations for this upcoming season. They will feature a great pass/catch duo of QB Arboleda and all world WR Derrick Griffin. The defense will also be good with DB Davis leading the way. Look for them to go 9-1 or 10-0 in the regular season. The last game of the season against Angleton will be for the district championship in front of a standing room only crowd. Once in the playoffs they will go Division II and go 2 or 3 rounds into the playoffs.

Chris Says: Rosenberg Terry has been one of my favorite Houston area teams for the last decade, largely because I like coach Tim Tekyl do much. He always manages to put a good team on the field and always manages to be a factor in the district. I agree with Mike that the district title will come down to the Terry/Angelton game and regardless of the outcome, the Rangers will be looking strong come playoff time. Expect them to last a couple rounds once playoffs begin.
