Mike Says: The Bulldogs won their 4th state championship last year behind superstar QB Hagen Hutchinson. They will miss his talent and leadership. This years team will again be pretty good with plenty of experience and lots of quickness. If they have a weakness it would be depth but then they are a 1A school Their pre-district schedule has a couple of interesting challenges in Munday and Cisco. Look for them to win 8 or 9 games in the regular season and then make it to at least the Quarterfinals.

Chris Says: The bar has been set high for the Stamford team this season, but it will be hard to repeat last season. The Bulldogs graduated 2/3rds of their starters including Hagen Hutchinson. Anson is favored to take the district this season as well as the rematch between these two in the Regional playoffs. Stamford will have an excellent season with double-digit wins and a trip to that Regional level.
