Mike Says: The Titans had a breakout year last year making it all the way to the Semifinals. Along the way, they beat La Porte for the first time and Galena Park North Shore for only their 2nd time. Those are the 2 teams they will need to beat this year but will probably not. Look for them to come in 3rd in the district and end the regular season with a 7-3 or 8-2 record. The defense is solid but the offense has a lot to replace.

Chris Says: All I can say is that I am sooo looking forward to Port Arthur Memorial's game to end the regular season against La Porte. Talk about a rivalry! The Titans lost to La Porte during the regular season but right after the Bulldogs surprised everyone by beating Katy, Port Arthur Memorial took the wind out of their sail in the playoffs. This has to be one of the most anticipated matchups of the Houston area this season. Expect the Titans to do well this season but struggle to win the district. You take the win-loss records and toss them out of the window for that game against La Porte as that will be won by the team with the most heart that night. I am getting goose bumps!
