| Team Outlook |
| Carthage - Coach Benny Mitchell (8-4-0) at Carthage and (127-64-6) Overall, Offense (Multiple I), Defense (Split 6), returns 21 letterman 7 offensive 4 defensive starters with 6 letterman lost from a (8-4) 3A Div. I Regional playoff team. Strengths on offense (quarterback, running back, offensive line), Strengths on defense (defensive line). Notes from the Coach: This team should be good offensively - offensive line is intact. We have a excellent QB and a great RB. Defense should come around a little slower - only 4 starters return and will also be running a different system. |
| Center - Coach Gale Ashley (0-10-0) at Center and (13-27-0) Overall, Offense (Pro I / Split), Defense (4-4), returns 16 letterman 8 offensive 6 defensive starters with 9 letterman lost from a (0-10) team. Overall Strength (offense), Strengths on offense (offensive line), Strengths on defense (linebacker). Notes from the Coach: With 16 returning letterman and our kids working hard in the weight room, we should be stronger than last year. We have 50 to 55 kids in off-season. The number of kids that show up for summer workouts will make or break up in the fall. I like what the kids are doing now for the 2004 season. |
| Longview/SH Spring Hill - Coach Steve Gaddis (90-43-0) at Longview/SH Spring Hill and (105-57-1) Overall, Offense (Multiple), Defense (4-3), returns 16 letterman 5 offensive 8 defensive starters with 10 letterman lost from a (9-2) 3A Div. I Bi-district playoff team. Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (running back, offensive line, kicker), Strengths on defense (defensive line, linebacker, defensive back, punter). Notes from the Coach: Have been (41-9) the last 4 years. Will need to find a new quarterback. |
| Tatum - Coach Andy Evans (0-0-0) at Tatum and (71-29-0) Overall, Offense (Spread), Defense (Split), returns 17 letterman 7 offensive 6 defensive starters with 18 letterman lost from a (8-5) 3A Div. II Regional playoff team. Overall Strength (offense), Strengths on offense (quarterback, offensive line), Strengths on defense (defensive line, cornerback, defensive back). Notes from the Coach: We averaged 367 yds a game, 33 points a game, and gave up only 17 points a game and we will be better on both sides. |
