Notes:
The Tigers are a district favorite in 13-4A but it will be a fight with Sulphur Springs, Denison and Sherman. Texas High has a lot of great offensive weapons in Sutton, Therman and Preston but they will need to find a QB to get the ball to them. On defense they will be a very solid team led by DL Bryant. Expect the Tigers to go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and a trip to the Regionals. The playoff road could be bumpy though with a possible bi-district matchup against 14-4A's Tyler John Tyler.
