Notes:
The Warriors will rely on their defense after making it to the Regionals with an explosive offense last year. They will feature 3 division I players on the defensive side of the ball with DL Fields and the DB brothers Eric and Stephen Amoako. They play in one of 5A's toughest districts. A possible matchup with state ranked #27 Midland would make an interesting bi-district game.
