Mike Says: The Panthers will be very good this year led by superstar quarterback Cody Thomas. The defense will also be very sturdy with several key returning starters. Last years district game against Euless Trinity was a classic. Can they beat the Trojans this year? Look for them to go 8-2 or 7-3 in the regular season and come in 2nd or 3rd behind Trinity in the district. They will go Division II in the playoffs and be good for 2 or 3 rounds.

Chris Says: Colleyville Heritage doesn't bring back a lot of starters, but guys like QB, Cody Thomas are why it isn't about sheer numbers. The Panthers will have a good season and again be involved in some of the marquee showdowns. They may not win the district, but they will be a strong playoff team.
