Notes:
The Bearcats are the two time defending state champions and they bring back one of the states best ever running backs, an all-state QB and one of the states best linemen. The rest of the state is saying "No Fair"!! Aledo is a state favorite to win it all again this year. The entire state cannot wait to see them matchup in week 0 vs. Stephenville and then the big one against #2 Austin Lake Travis 2 weeks later. RB Gray will break a lot of all-time records this year.
