Mike Says: The Trojans had another great season last year falling to La Marque at Reliant Stadium after beating them in OT in the regular season. That will be a great matchup again this year. This years team will feature a stout defense. Look for them to go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and then 2 or 3 rounds in the playoffs.

Chris Says: Coldspring-Oakhurst graduated a bunch from last seasons powerful offense, but retain some great defensive players. Coach Bryan Barbay has done some amazing work with this Trojans program and wants again to have a shot for a title run. I'm not sure this is going to be that season, but it will be a really good one if they can make it past the second round of the playoffs.
