Mike Says: The Knights have two 1,000 yard rushers coming back. Hud Harrison is not only part of that experienced backfield but also a leader on defense that brings back 8 starters. Look for them to go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and win the district championship. Once in the playoffs, they will be a player in the region. Look for Goldthwaite to be the main competition in the region.

Chris Says: Lindsay had a much deeper playoff run last season than a lot of folks expected and the bring back a ton of starting experience. They are set to have another great run this year and hope to avenge two losses to Muenster last year (including one that ended their season last year.)
