The Colts only had one bad loss (vs. Bowie), but were competitive in every other game. Arlington has one of the state’s top tailbacks in senior Jamal Nero, and he will be running behind one of the state’s best offensive lines. The Colts should improve this year because of their experience on both sides of the ball. This is one of the state’s most experienced teams.

Fossil Ridge was previously 5A when the school first opened. Fossil Ridge was in its first season under Tony Baccarini last season. Previous head coach Hal Wasson took the Southlake Carroll opening. The Panthers have arguably the best receiving corps in the state this season. This is a team capable of making the playoffs in their new 5A district. Senior WR Aaron Fisher, senior LB Brandon Mahoney and senior K Chris Boswell are three of the potential all-state selections on this team.

Naaman Forest vs. FM Marcus @ Flower Mound vs. Lewisville Hebron vs Coppell @ Southlake Carroll Unit Rankings: None 2008 Outlook: The Farmers won games with defense last year while a young offense learned the ropes. Lewisville has an experienced offense this year, and it is the defense that will be playing catch-up. Seven returning starters on offense and returning lettermen on defense give Lewisville the foundation to be a potentially dangerous team this season. The Farmers were competitive in every game they played last year. Lewisville will be tough to beat this year if the defense can pick up where it left off because the offense should be much better.

The defense allowed over 20 points a game last season, but could become one of the state’s best units this fall due to senior experience. This is a very fast and athletic team overall.

South Grand Prairie played all of their opponents to close games, and could turn that win-loss record around dramatically if they make improvement this fall. Eight returning starters give the Warriors a nice base of experience to build 2008’s effort around.

The Panthers return 18 starters, all seniors, in 2008. If the players grasp the new system quickly, this team has a chance to erase last year’s bad memories.
