2008 Outlook:
The Warriors played a tough schedule last year and took their lumps in a disappointing 3-7 season. 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.

2008 Outlook:
Jeff Dicus, previously head coach at 4A state champions Lake Travis, takes over a Duncanville program that finished 3-7 last season. 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. This very talented and experienced senior class is capable of raising a lot of eyebrows this season.

2008 Outlook:
Rowlett pulled off the biggest upset in last year’s post-season by knocking off an undefeated Allen team in the bi-district round. The Eagles were a very young team overall last year, and enter this season with considerable experience across the board. Senior experience is a primary strength of Rowlett in 2008, and this won’t be a team anyone can take lightly.

2008 Outlook:
The Highlanders suffered through an uncharacteristic 3-8 season in 2007, but return just about everyone in 2008’s rebound effort. Last year’s main weakness, inexperience, will be this year’s trump card. The schedule is friendlier than the previous two years, but The Woodlands should be battle-tested by playoff team. This team has a chance to improve dramatically on last year’s effort.
