Mike Says: The Scots were upset in the first round of the playoffs last year losing their first Bi-District game since 2004. They have an incredible history and even though they do not have a lot of starters coming back, they will be awesome again. Look for this team to do quite well, in fact we have them going to the Semifinals. They play a great schedule with games against Mesquite Poteet, Aledo and Sherman.

Chris Says: Dallas Highland Park was the shocker of the opening round last season when they lost to Frisco. This season will be different. They graduate a ton of starters (all but 1 on offense) but have some very solid players and should come close to running the table again in the district. The Scots will do better this year in the playoffs but that really doesn't take much. Expect them to be alive a few rounds in this year.
