Mike Says: The Bearcats return 42 lettermen from a team that made it the playoffs for the 5th year in a row. They look ready to have another great season this year too. Behind the running of RB Tre Mask they will give Lovejoy a run for the district title. Look for them to go 8-2 or 7-3 in the regular season and then 2 or 3 rounds in the playoffs.

Chris Says: Sherman is loaded. Coach Kinne's team is bursting at the seams with talent and lots of experience. Not one to pad his schedule, Kinne will once again have the team battle tested before district play when they again face Dallas Highland Park, Sulphur Springs and Little Elm. Once in District 13-4A, expect each week to be a battle, but the Bearcats should be in the running for the crown. After that, expect them around 3 or 4 rounds.
