Notes:
* Have made it to the Regionals now for 5 consecutive seasons

Mike Says: The Scots had a great tradition so low returning starters and lettermen do not mean much to them. They have some great non-district games with Aledo and Sherman which will have them ready for a tough district schedule. Look for them to go 9-1 or 10-0 and win the district title. All things point to a collision course with Tyler John Tyler in the Regionals or Quarterfinals. Last years game made our 2011 Games Of The Year!!

Chris Says: You can't mention the Dallas Highland Park Scots without mentioning Coach Randy Allen. After becoming only the 11th coach in Texas high school history to notch 300 wins last year, Allen looks to have his team ready for another state title run. While the Scots don't bring back a lot of starters, they do bring back a lot of lettermen. Expect them to take the District 10-4A title again and have another deep playoff run. If they don't reach the Regionals, I will be surprised. After that, anything is possible.
