Cameron Yoe

Head Coach: Rick Rhoades

2009 Record: 6-4/3-3 in 3A

Players to watch:
DE: DeAntana Holt
LB: Ty Morgan
QB: Jack Rhoades

Holt and Morgan should help make the Yoe a very good Defensive team. Offense will be inexperienced, but with WR Derrick Westbrook and QB Jack Rhoades has potential. Ranked them first in district coming from tough 3A district and schedule to 2A. They are also the biggest school in this district.

McGregor Bulldogs

Head Coach: Tim Seward

2009 Record: Went undefeated in regular and district play at 10-0 lost in DII quarter finals to Callisburg 13-1 for year.

Players to watch:
WR:  Chad Seale
DB: Kieran Wilson

Top Juniors:
QB: Keith Reineke

Top Sophomore:
DT:Dylan Brown

Only returning 4 starters on both sides of the ball, but coach Seward played a lot of underclassmen late to get experience. Key losses were Shawn Chappel and Julian young.  Coach Seward has a ton of talent in the underclassmen ranks though. Keith Reineke took over for Dylan Ripley after game 3 in 2009. As sophomore he gained tons of experience and got better with every snap. Look for McGregor to battle Cameron and Troy for the top spot with the Bulldogs headed to another long playoff run in 2010.  There game with Troy in week seven could be key to district race

Troy Trojans

Head Coach: Grady Rowe

2009 Record: Lost to Godley in bi-district round, went 8-3 for the year, second place in district

Players to watch:
DE/TE:  Demetrius Smith
OL/DT:  Isaiah Ross
RB:  Marcus Ege

Going to be a very young team with 2 offense and 4 defense returning players from last years team. Smith is expected to be the corner piece on both sides of the ball for the Trojans, if injuries are held to a minimum they can battle for top spot in district, but look for the inexperience at some positions. A key loss was Andrew Taylor.

Marlin Bulldogs

Head Coach: Keith Willis

2009 Record: 1-9

Returning Starters:  8/6

Players to watch: 
LB/RB  Des Willis
OL Xaiver Logan
QB Fred Fondon

Marlin is the dark horse of this district. 14 experienced starters and a new attitude could see these Dogs in the third spot in district but will be tough behind the Yoe, Trojans and the other Bulldogs. Second year head coach Willis is making head way. An unpolished 2009 team was very young with a lot of talent lost over 2009 summer. Marlin looks to be headed in the right direction with coach Willis. We have been very impressed with what we have seen out of the Bulldogs in 2009 despite the 1-9 record. That record is a bit misleading due to some very close games. They missed the playoffs by losing the last game of the 2009 season.  If the rebuilding process is moving along faster than expected, expect this team to be the one that makes waves. It would be very possible for them to knock off at team they aren't expected to and say hello to post season play.

Hearne Eagles

Head Coach: Ralph E. Lymas

2009 Record: 5-5 /2-3

Players to watch:
RB Kenneth Jones
LB Sexton Curry (100 tackles 2009)

Move into a tough district, however they also have some good experienced players coming back with returners 8/9 on either side of the ball.  Running back Kenneth Jones will lead the way (2009 1,225 yards, 15 tds) behind a solid offensive line. Look for Hearne to be a tough win for any team, but in the end there will probably be too much talent from top tier teams. But again, the Eagles are capable of an upset in 2010.

Academy Bumblebees

Head Coach: Mike Nichols

2009 Record: 6-4/3-3

Key loss: Kyle Kuban

Players to watch:
WR: Brent Fritz
RB: Cameron Dutcher

Look for them to battle Florence for the final spot in district as the other top teams are just too loaded, and stocked for of talent for the Bees to make the playoffs.

Florence Buffaloes

Head Coach: Paul Smith

2009 Record:  2-8 1-5

Returning Starters: 6/7

Players to watch:
QB Doak Hensley
DB Michael Ramirez

Hensley threw for 1604 yards in 2009, his debut season. He is looking to build on that and see if he can get the offense moving enough to score on the heavy weights of this district.
