2012 JV Record : 9-1

Primary Offensvie Formation : Spread

Primary Defensive Formation : 4-3

Notes:
* Have made it to at least the Quarterfinals the last 6 seasons
* Coach Fedora Was LSG's Class 3A Coach Of The Year Last Year

Mike Says: The Rattlers outscored their opponent by an average of over 37 points per game last year on their way to their first ever state championship. The spotlight was on the offense last year but the defense gave up less than 7 points per game. The graduated all 4 starting WRs and QB from that team. This years team will need the defense to be just as good again. It may too with superstar DT Jordan Wells leading the way. Look for them to go 9-1 or 10-0 in the regular season. Once in the playoffs its another Quarterfinal trip for the Rattlers.

Chris Says: Coach Lee Fedora has built a juggernaut in Navasota and this year is going to be more of the same. They graduated a lot of experience, but those returning have done nothing but win. Although we don't have them returning to title town, the Rattlers will have a great season and a strong playoff run that could last to the Quarterfinals.
