Mike Says: The Leopards are on a run with three 10 win seasons over the last 4 years. This years team should reach double digit wins again with QB Harris Coleman leading the way. Once in the playoffs, they should get to the Regionals.

Chris Says: Lorena lost a lot of their starting lineup, but brought back some great experienced leaders. For that reason, the Leopards will not show a lot of dropoff. While they should be in the hunt for the District 17-3A crown, I don't see them going as far in the playoffs as they just don't have as many weapons as last year.
