Team Outlook
Allen - Coach Tom Westerberg, Offense (Spread), Defense (Multiple), returns 34 letterman 6 offensive 7 defensive starters with 34 lettermen lost from a (13-2) 5A Div. II Semi Final playoff team.  Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (quarterback, offensive line), Strengths on defense (defensive line).  Notes from the Coach: We should have 22 senior starters.  Our leadership will be great.  Barring injury and finding a RB, we should have a great year.
Lewisville Flower Mound - Coach Cody Vanderford (12-28-0) at Lewisville Flower Mound and (12-28-0) Overall, Offense (One Back), Defense (4-2-5), returns 16 letterman 6 offensive 5 defensive starters with 39 letterman lost from a (4-6) team.  Overall Strength (offense), Strengths on offense (quarterback, receiver, offensive line), Strengths on defense (linebacker, defensive back).  Notes from the Coach: Offensively, we return a QB, all 4 receivers, and 3 offensive linemen.  Need RB to step up and a couple young offensive linemen. Defensively, we have to replace 3 of 4 linemen and both corners.  We expect this to be our strongest team since opening in 1999.
Lewisville The Colony - Coach Brent Davis (6-15-0) at Lewisville The Colony  and (69-35-1) Overall, Offense (Multiple), Defense (Multiple 8), returns 21 letterman 5 offensive 4 defensive starters with 24 letterman lost from a (1-9)  team. 
Lewisville FM Marcus - Coach Randy Mayes (13-18-0) at Lewisville FM Marcus and (62-59-1) Overall, Offense (Spread), Defense (4-3), returns 24 letterman 2 offensive 4 defensive starters with 28 letterman lost from a (4-7) 5A Div. II Bi-district playoff team.  Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (offensive line), Strengths on defense (linebacker).  Notes from the Coach: My first two years at Marcus the players were getting used to my way of doing things and in the 3rd year. Continuity has made a world of difference.
Lewisville - Coach Ronnie Gage (114-41-3) at Lewisville and (134-57-8) Overall, returns 18 letterman 6 offensive 2 defensive starters from a (3-7) team.
Plano - Coach Gerald Brence (86-54-1) at Plano and (86-54-1) Overall, Offense (I), Defense (Multiple), from a (0-9)  team.  Notes from the Coach:  We will still be the youngest team in the district.  We will start as many as 15 juniors.  However, we should be better and more experienced.
Plano East - Coach Johnny Ringo, Offense (Multiple Option), Defense (4-2-5), returns 20 letterman 4 offensive 5 defensive starters with 42 letterman lost from a (9-3) 5A Div. I Regional playoff team.  Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (running back), Strengths on defense (defensive line).  Notes from the Coach: Inexperience at QB will be the issue.  Depth and size to both lines should be a strong point.  New offensive scheme should allow us to use a variety of players and their strengths.  There is very little change to a defense that led district in points and was second in yardage.
Plano West - Coach Mike Hughes (12-8-0) at Plano West  and (12-8-0) Overall, Offense (Spread), Defense (Multiple), returns 16 letterman 1 offensive 5 defensive starters with 44 letterman lost from a (7-3) team.  Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (quarterback, kicker), Strengths on defense (linebacker).
