Mart Panthers

Head Coach: Rusty Nail

2009 Record: 9-5 DII Regional Finalist to Cayuga

Key Players:
QB Holden Strunk
RB Anthony Martin
LB D'Shun Kinsey
OL Gabe Waples
RB Jakeem Hoffman
DB Leonard Williams
LB Terrell Pride
ATH Ethan Deike

The number one enemy for  the Panthers will be the injury bug.  In 2009 the Panthers had 4-5 starters out in almost every regular season game, most notably QB Holden Strunk.  Even with the injuries the Panthers proved that even with backups at key positions they could do what it takes to keep in close games with big opponents.  2010 will be an explosive season for the Panthers with high expectations mainly because they are who they are....the Mart Panthers.

Kerens Bobcats

Head Coach: Russell Anderson

2009 Record: 6-4 DII Bi-District Finalist

Key Players:
LB Trey McGowan
WR Ryan Leerskov
OL Cody Roberts
DL DJ Woods

Returning 2009 district MVP Trey McGowan is the leader of this Bobcat team that returns 10 starters on defense.  Kerens will prove a tough test for the Panthers in the battle for the district championship and are no strangers to success falling shorter than expected in 2009 in the Bi-District round. 

Riesel Indians

Head Coach: Ronnie Wilson (Supercentex Coach of the year)

2009 Record: 8-4 DI Regional Finalist

Key Players:
LB Justin Watson
LB Ty Marshall
OL Casey Stripling
TE Alan Hieft
CB Dylan Smith

The hardest thing the Indians will have to face this year is their 2009 counterpart.  An excellent season last year will hopefully propel the Indians to continued success but they will have to find replacements for key losses because of graduation.  The upper classmen are ready to step up and take over the leadership role the Indians will need to break into the playoffs once again in 2010. 

Cayuga Wildcats

Head Coach: Greg Jenkins

2009 Record: 14-1 DII State Champions

Key Players:
WR Chris Turner
DL Brandon Miller
OL Kawika Tu'akalua
OL Coleman Shafer

The defending DII State Champs will have a rebuilding year to replace two D1 graduating Seniors (Shead & Kennedy).  It will be impossible to replace the record breaking Shead but the Wildcats will depend on a seasoned O-Line to lead the way.  Cayuga's signal caller is still a position to be won and Jenkins may try several key skill guys before and during the season to see who will fit. 

Rice Bulldogs

Head Coach: David Curry

2009 Record: 1-9

Key Players:
RB Levi Plunkett
DB Shaquille Fields
LB Ragan Henderson

The Bulldogs are still a bottom of the barrel team especially in this district.  They will have minimize the mistakes and capitalize on their opponent's just to have a fighting chance. 

Malakoff Cross Roads Bobcats

Head Coach: Stephen Almuete

2009 Record: 1-9

Key Players:
WR Kolton McGlaun
LB Taylor Rogers
RB Brandon Peyrefitte
OL Hunter Norwood

Crossroads will fight Rice for the last place in this district.  Two evenly matched teams will have the same philosophy.
