Dayton enters their 2nd season in 22-4A and after the season they had in 2006 they are predicted to win the district championship for the 2nd straight year in 2007. Dayton stormed through 22-4A play last season undefeated and emerged as the district champions. Coach Jerry Stewart and his 11 returning starters will make it tough for anyone to take the title from them and they may very well run the 22-4A table again.

Central (21-20)

Offensive Summary

The 2006 Dayton Broncos had a very potent offense and 7 starters return from that unit that averaged 30 points per game. The Broncos lose one of the best RB in all of Southeast Texas in Michael Dugat (West Texas A&M) but there will still be a Dugat in the Bronco backfield in 2007, Michael’s brother AJ Dugat. Look for the Dayton rushing game to not miss a beat in 2007. However, the most important player back has to be QB Cody Green. Green did it all last year, from passing for 1,589 yards and 20 touchdowns to rushing for 689 yards and 4 touchdowns. His performance last year earned him the 22-4A newcomer of the year award.

Other Offensive Impact Players:

Paul Fontenot (WR)

Defensive Summary

Coach Stewart welcomes back 4 starters from a defense that gave up 10 points per game in 2006. Dayton had one of the best defenses in all of Southeast Texas last year. FS Ford Smesny is the leading tackler back after having 83 tackles last season. Look for NG Brent Kimmy and LB John Gable to have big seasons as well.

Other Defensive Impact Players:

Fred Hynson (LB)

The SETXsports week 0 game of the week may very well be the contest in West Orange when the Broncos face the Mustangs. Dayton opens 22-4A play on September 28 when they travel to Lumberton to face the Raiders. Many expect the district title to be on the line on October 26 when Central travels to Dayton in what should be a great contest. Other key games include the trip to Nederland and the regular season finale against PN-G. Here is the complete 2007 schedule for the Dayton Broncos……
