Notes:
The Mustangs are always a power in Region III of 3A and this year will be no different. The big change is that their long time head coach Dan Hooks retired. Their defense will be key again led by All-State DB's Renfro and Thomas. Their closest district game was a 41-14 victory over Orangefield last year. WOS has a lot of rival games against schools like Nederland, Jasper, Bridge City and Silsbee.
