With the return of the Class 4A Defensive Player Of The Year DL Edwards and two all-state LB’s in De La Torre and Richmond the Raiders are looking at championship game #6. It could very well be a rematch with Austin Lake Travis in the championship.

How did LSG do on our 2010 Predictions?

Hard at work for 2011

Overall, it looks like we did very well.  Sure, there were some surprises that nobody saw coming – but that happens every year.  As usual, we blew away the AP, but that isn’t hard to do.  Thanks for another great season and for all the excellent feedback.  It is that ‘back and forth’ we get from our fellow Texas high school football fans that really clue us in to some of the kids and programs we are unable to see in person each year.

1A DII
Our Pre-Season #1 Falls City beat Windthorst 32-7 for their first ever championship

1A DI
Our Pre-Season #1 Goldthwaite fell to our Pre-Season #3 Mart in the championship game 28-7 for Mart’s 5th overall Championship Goldthwaite beat Mart 29-23 during the regular season

2A DII
Our Pre-Season #1 Refugio fell to our Pre-Season #7 Lexington in theSemifinals.  Lexington then lost to our Pre-Season #6 Idalou in the championship game 20-3. It was Idalou’s 1st State Championship

2A DI
Our Pre-Season #1 Daingerfield defeated Cameron Yoe 33-27 to win their 2nd consecutive championship

3A DII
Our Pre-Season #1 Carthage defeated Coldspring-Oakhurst 47-22 to win their 3rd consecutive 3A Championship

3A DI
Our Pre-Season #31 Henderson surprised everyone in the state (except for the Henderson fans posting on our facebook before the game) by defeating Tyler Chapel Hill 28-21 for their first ever championship

4A DII
Our Pre-Season #2 (behind the DI Champion) Aledo defeated La Marque 69-34 to win their 2nd consecutive championship

4A DI
Our Pre-Season #1 Austin Lake Travis defeated our #7 Pre-Season Denton Ryan 27-7 win their 4th consecutive state championship

5A DII
Our Pre-Season #1 Abilene lost to our pre-season #20 Southlake Carroll (7th ranked Division II team) in the Quarterfinals.  Southlake then lost in the next round to our Pre-Season #18 (5th ranked Division II team) Denton Guyer who in turn lost to our Pre-Season #17 (4th ranked Division II team) Cibolo Steele in the championship game 24-21.  It was Steele’s first ever championship.  Both schools were 4A last season and both began playing varsity ball in 2006.

5A DI
Our Pre-Season #2 (top ranked Division I team) Euless Trinity lost to cinderella Pearland 28-24.  It was Pearland’s first ever championship.

We are already hard at work putting together information for 2011.  What are your thoughts?  Who is the team or player to watch this coming season?  Who is the sleeper that flying under the radar right now?  Send your feedback via voicemail to 713-568-6361, via email to chris.doelle@lonestargridiron.com or post it out on our facebook page.

Coaching Changes — Van

Van has hired Jared Moffatt as their next athletic director and head coach. Moffatt will replace Brady Pennington who left to become an assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach at New Caney Porter.

Pennington resigned after the 2009 season after being the athletic director and head coach for the last eight seasons. He had an overall 62-26 record with five playoff appearances while leading the Vandals.

Moffatt arrives at Van after being the offensive coordinator at Denton Ryan for the past eight years. Prior to that he spent one year in the Ryan Middle School system and three years as an assistant at Irion County.

Van will be part of District 14-3A along with Canton, Emory Rains, Lindale, Quinlan Ford and Wills Point. The Vandals are on a streak of 7 consecutive winning seasons.

Texas Tech Gets Verbal Commitment From Top Texas QB

Texas Tech gets another big time Texas Quarterback. Denton Ryan’s outstanding young quarterback, Scotty Young has verbally committed to play for the Red Raiders in 2010.

Young is one of the best quarterbacks in the state. He had a spectacular junior season, throwing for 4,495 yards and 65 touchdowns. The 65 touchdowns was just two shy of former Red Raider QB Graham Harrell’s Texas high school record of 67 single season touchdown passes. He was also named to the Texas 4A all-state second team as a junior after leading his team to the Class 4A Division I Region I Semifinals.

Harrell’s success as the most prolific passer in college football had a very big impact on Young. One of Scotty’s coaches at Denton Ryan is Zac Harrell, Graham’s older brother. Coach Harrell was a great resource for Scotty and one of the reasons he committed to the Red Raiders.

Young also had offers from Arizona, Baylor, SMU, Houston, and Texas Tech and is hearing from schools like LSU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and Texas.
