Last season the West Hardin Oilers went 8-3 and a perfect 4-0 in 24-1A play to win the district championship. The game that everyone expected to be a barn burner for the championship turned out to be a blowout win for the Oilers as they beat Hull-Diasetta 36-7. West Hardin is once again expected to be at the top of the district race with Hull-Diasetta in 2007 and many expect the championship to once again be decided when these two meet up.

The Oilers also have 5 starters back from a defensive unit that gave up 17 points per game last year. LB Jarid Bordes returns after having a huge 2006 season. Bordes finished 2006 with 174 tackles. Also back on defense is LB Justin Doiron who had 4 interceptions last season. The West Hardin DL will be led by Jasper Fillingame, Lucas Lowe and Austin Laird. The Oilers also have a pair of very good DE in Josh Bowman and B.J. Meche.

West Hardin will begin their season with a home game in week 0 against Groveton. They will then hit the road for 3 straight games against 24-2A teams Warren, Hardin and Kountze.
