Mike Says: The Rangers are set for a big season. Of course, everyone will be watching star Wide Receiver Jake Oliver as he marches towards setting several all-time receiving records. With him as a target the passing game will be one of the best and it also helps to have OL Gustafson on the front line. On defense, linebacker Mastrogiovanni will be a force. Their game vs. Dallas Skyline will be for the district title. Look for them to go 8-2 or 9-1 for the regular season.

Chris Says: Dallas Jesuit brings back a whopping 33 lettermen and half of their starters from last season's 8-3 team. Expect the Rangers to be in the hunt for the district title right there with Dallas Skyline. Also, be on the lookout for receiver, Jake Oliver's assault on the receiving record books. It is going to be a special season for the Rangers.
