Mike Says: The Tigers are ready to make another run at the championship this year. OL Willie Evans will pave the way for a strong offense while Corey Smith and Calvin Bryant lead a tough defense. Look for them to have to face New Boston twice this year....once in district play for the district title and then once again in the Quarterfinals. A great pre-district game against Gilmer will be a great test for them on their way to their 10th all-time state championship game.

Chris Says: Daingerfield brings back half their starters including the potent offense of QB, Karis Alexander and RB, Cordarvis Anderson. It is a good bet that the Tigers will be in the championship game against either Cameron Yoe or Newton.
