Mike Says:The Lions lost a lot to graduation so another trip to the Semifinals may be out of the question. They bring back plenty of speed and a tough defense led by DB Terry Ausborne. Look for them to win 7 or 8 games in the regular season and come in 2nd in the district behind Whitehouse. After that they should go 2 or 3 rounds in the playoffs.

Chris Says: Tyler John Tyler rolled through District 16-4A last year although Whitehouse gave them a scare in the final regular season game. The Lions graduated a lot of talent and Whitehouse got tougher. For that reason, I don't see Tyler John Tyler winning district this season. They will go into the playoffs with only a couple losses but will run into Whitehouse again in the postseason. It is going to be a great series.
