Notes:
The Tigers are once again a title favorite in 2010. They lost a lot and only bring back 18 lettermen from last years team that fell just short of a three-peat championship. They have great players coming back though on both sides of the ball though and should win 10+ games again for the 9th consecutive season. One big change is that the Tigers are likely to be Division I in 2010 which would create some great matchups in the playoffs like games vs. North Shore, Pearland or Hightower. They once again have one of the toughest pre-district schedules in the Houston area with games against Galena Park North Shore, Alief Taylor and Beaumont West Brook.
