If there was ever a season for Kirbyville to win the 21-3A championship this is it. The Wildcats return just about their entire team from last year and most of the key players are back. Coach Jack Alvarez welcomes back 14 starters from last year’s Area Round team. The Wildcats lost to the Sweeny Bulldogs 35-28 to end their season at 8-4 after finishing 3rd in 21-3A.

Key Wins Last Year:

Orangefield (40-26)

Bridge City (27-12)

Coldspring (27-12)

Last Year’s Scores:

Kirbyville 51 Cleveland 12

Carthage 42 Kirbyville 14

Kirbyville 28 Jasper 21

WO-S 46 Kirbyville 16

Kirbyville 40 Orangefield 26

Offensive Summary

The Wildcats have 7 starters back from their 2006 offensive unit that averaged 33 points per game. QB Aaron Hazelwood is back after having an outstanding 2006 season. Hazelwood completed 70 passes for 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns. That earned him the 21-3A offensive newcomer of the year award. Expect Aaron to have another great year in 2007. Also returning in the backfield is RB Pierce Rhodes. He had a monster 2006 season chewing up opposing defenses as he rushed for 1,526 yards and 23 touchdowns. Rhodes also caught 13 passes for 354 yards and 3 touchdowns. Look for the Kirbyville offense to be very tough to stop in 2007.

Other Offensive Impact Players:

Randy Muskgrove (WR)

Broderick Jackson (RB)

Defensive Summary

Kirbyville also has 7 starters back on defense. Last season the defense allowed 23 points per game. Not only is Pierce Rhodes a huge threat on offense, he is also a threat on defense. Rhodes had 105 tackles last season for the Wildcats. The secondary for Kirbyville should be very solid led by the above mentioned Broderick Jackson from his FS position along with CB Desmond Evert. Also look for LB Barry Burley and DE Linwood Crawford to have big years.

Other Defensive Impact Players:

Fred Rhodes (DB)

Hey, Goofy. This is a thread about Kirbyville. There's a whole separate sticky-noted thread about when team previews will be released.

But since you are a BCISD kid, let me help you out:
