Mike Says: The Tigers bring back an amazing 3,482 yards of rushing back from their semifinals team last year. The 13 wins was the most in the schools history. Their rival Goldthwaite and #1 Mart will be their top competition in the region. The Tigers have as good a chance as any to win it all this year.

Chris Says: If ever there were a Brotherhood in Texas high school football, Hico is it. Their two star running backs are brothers and there are a half dozen other sets of brothers on the team. This Tigers' squad looks to be even better than last season and that could mean a title run. They will have to have everything come together when they face Mart but with a team as tight as the Tigers... it is a real possibility.
