Mike Says: The Zebras are moving to a different district and region but they are bringing 3 of their old district teams with them. That is bad for those teams because the Zebras won their district games against them last year by an average of 39.4 point per game. This year they will be strong at quarterback with Breton and they will also feature a good trio of linebackers. Look for them to go 7-3 or 8-2 in the regular season. Their last game of the season against Godley should be for the district title.

Chris Says: Grandview has quite a few changes - a new district, a new region, a lot of new faces in the starting lineups, a new head coach. There is even talk on their Facebook page about changing the zebra logo. So what do we expect from the new-look Zebras? Well, more of the same. The same winning ways. The same good record in regular season. The same exit from the playoffs a few rounds in.
