Notes:
Kerrvile Tivy will have a hard time duplicating their run to the semifinals in 2009. With only 20 lettermen coming back expect the Antlers to have a tough time winning the 27-4A title. This distict could be one of the toughest in the state with Steele, Alamo Heights and Clemens. Look for them to finish 7-3 or 8-2 and then at least the Regionals.
