West Mesquite Pool P 1. Brenham 2. Grapevine 3. Lufkin 4. Stratford FAVORITES Alvin: Of all the favorites, Alvin could be the dark horse. Though picked 6th in district, Alvin beat district-favorite Pearland in an SQT finals. Austin Westlake: If QB Nick Foles gets hot, Westlake could be the team to beat. Baytown Lee: Two-time champs have another solid QB in Jeremy Moses, the QB for the 7-on- 7 state champs. Brenham: Might boast most skill of any qualifier: Qb Jarrett Lee (LSU pledge), WR/DB Brandon Collins (UT pledge), CB Shawn Sullivan (Nebraska pledge). Copperas Cove: Tons of talent returns for the Dawgs, including Tech pledge in WR Rashad Hawk. Cypress Falls: Falls has one of top receiving duos in state, not just at 7-on-7, as well as LB Derek Stephens (A&M pledge) leading the defense. Hebron: Brian AuBuchon, one of the catalysts for the state title run, returns as a seasoned veteran. Houston Stratford: Not much has been said about Andrew Luck, but the Stratford QB, at 6-4, could emerge from this weekend as one to watch after passing for 1,500 yards in ‘05. Katy: Though the Tigers needed until July to qualify, they have plenty of talent to make a run at the finals. Lufkin: Think the Pack will want to prove they’re worthy of their No. 1 ranking in the 2006 DCTF? Southlake Carroll: Talent never a question mark for Dragons; having Riley Dodge at QB is like having a coach on the field. Tyler John Tyler: Beating crosstown nemesis Tyler Lee propelled JT, not former champion Lee, into the favorites category. Weatherford: Roos are loaded with receivers; watch out if QB Briley Worthington can get them the ball consistently. Wolfforth Frenship: Only a junior, QB Seth Doege, a Crane transfer, could really bust out onto the scene with a strong state showing. Katy Cinco Ranch: Another former champion with a strong shot at doubling its number of titles. CONTENDERS Abilene: QB Spens Lackey is showing Eagles can move on past Potts era. Alamo Heights: An easy-to-remember name, QB Giovanne Vizza could lead AH far. Arlington Lamar: Mainstay at state tournament. Bandera: Look for QB Brandon Hicks to shine. Bellaire: QB Max Flinn is solid, but surrounding parts will need to play at his level. Beaumont Ozen: Best defensive backfield in competition will be tested. Brownwood: In this slot more from experience with passing offenses and less with personnel. Cypress Fairbaks: Cy-Fair lost 17 starters from last year’s surprise 10-3 run. Edcouch-Elsa: Team qualified in El Paso, so trip to College Station won’t be a factor. Grapevine: ‘98 runner-ups know a thing or two about the passing game. Haltom: Team is making quick transition to a new coach and system. Houston Lamar: QB Woods returns to lead team that went unbeaten in ‘05 regular season. Katy Taylor: First team to qualify in 2006. North Mesquite: Might have to rely on defense. Odessa Permian: Can Mojo recapture magic? Pearland: The Sam Proctor-Foswhitt Whitaker connection should strike often. Plano East: Looks for East to use Chris Slater in multiple positions. Saginaw Boswell: QB Taylor Weidman will get his chance to earn equal footing with some of the state’s better known passers. San Benito: New arriver on state scene could provide fits early on. Stephenville: Qualifying is good way to begin life after Jevan Snead. Tyler Lee: Took the Rebs a while just to qualify. Victoria Memorial: Vipers love to throw the ball around. West Mesquite: Held opponents to a sub-20 point average during its 5-0 tournament run. West Orange-Stark: This 3A squad usually has the talent of larger schools. Wharton: Smallest school (under 700 enrollment) to make state. Wylie: Georgia transfer Patrick Witt could be the tourney’s X-factor. UNDERDOGS Alief Elsik: Late qualifier might be happy just to be here. Arlington Bowie: Newly hired Coach Perry already bringing returns to the Vols. Austin Lake Travis: Post-Todd Reese era off to good start just by qualifying for state. Buda Hays: Hays always has talent, but graduation stripped Rebels of much of it. Burnet: Rebounding from last year’s 4-6 mark starts in the summer. Bryan: The Vikings waited a long time to qualify - and got drubbed by West Mesquite in the final. Canton: Longshots to even make it, it’s all gravy at this point. Colleyville Heritage: QB Casey Russell has talent, but will take some time to reach level of his predecessor. Cypress Creek: QB Bryan Smith will use state to transition from his ‘05 DB position. Cypress Springs: Making it to this point should help Springs recover from 1-9 mark last year. El Paso Hanks: Omar Hanks, an undervalued QB, will strut his stuff on the state scene. Georgetown: Team still learning new system. Graham: 3A squad is led by WR Chance McCoy, younger brother of Colt. Langham Creek: Langham Creek still trying to break in successor to Ross Jenkins. McAllen Rowe: Rowe just needs to make most of first qualification in two years. Midlothian: Surprise qualifier looking to continue string of upsets. Plano: Had a nice resurgence last season, but that was in a run-based offense. Port Arthur Memorial: Once team picks up Coach Thompson’s approach, Titans will be a major state player. Rockwall: Only thing up in the air for Rockwall is the QB position. Round Rock: Dragons have two receiving threats in Alex Russian and James Kirkendoll. Sherman: Run-oriented QB Taylor Dunlap will need adapt to 7-on-7 passing style. Spring Westfield: Not quite as much talent returns compared to 2005. San Antonio Clark: QB Justin Vaneck returns from 1,500-yard campaign.
