Those top 2 look familiar.

Interesting.....when was the last time WOS wasn't in the top 10? Not saying they deserve to be there, just stating and observation. IMO, WOS has always been in the top 10 since the early 80's.  Correct me if I'm wrong but i can't remember that since I was was old enough to remember which was 1985 to now.

WO-S will run people off the field this year

[kicker]

Well, not sure about that but heard we will be pretty good.

The defense will be very good, but we are starting to get a little far out on the branch as far as predictions.

[Yoe_09]

Did anyone notice if they mentioned 1A or 2A?

I think this top ten looks pretty solid.  At the top 2 spots you have two 4A to 3A teams that should have great years.  Carthage is always one of the top programs in the state.  Coldspring has had some very successful lately, and Navasota returns quite a bit from the 2011 squad that lost to Chapel Hill in a thriller.  It should be a great year for 3A football.

It looks strange seeing Stephenville and LaMarque on the 3A list. They have been atop the 4A lists for so long... I agree with y'all about WOS. They will make some noise this year as always.

Im not trying to speak so soon, and I know people say this every year, but I truky look at this defense and and see a state championship unit, im around the program more then others probably but we will be very very good defensively this season trust me

[texaggies07]

The Trojans should be very good again this as Coach Barbay does a tremendous job and the offseason program is probably one of the best in the State.  We are deserving of the ranking at this point, but it is based off of last season.  We will see how good we are early on as we face two of those top five teams and two in class 4A.  I would love to see a matchup between Coldspring and WO-S in the playoffs again it should be another great matchup as I'm assured they are much improved and very strong again this year.  Should be a great year in 3A.  I think the field is wide open.

Coldspring deserves the ranking based upon what it brings to the table because some very underestimated parts return from last year's team.  First, the offensive line from last year returns intact and having seen them in action last year against WO-S I can tell you that they deserve a lot more credit than they got last year.  Second, they return 3 year starter Alfred Scott. Yeah, he is not the big play maker and he won't have a lot of big stats.  But from what I saw last year, he is extremely good at extending drives....he'll make a six or seven yard scramble...he'll make the 6-8 yard pass, just to give the Trojans 3 more chances to make a big play.  I guess that is why he is 28-3 as a starter. Third, Patrick Giddens is gonna be a beast on defense this year.

Now don't get me wrong, Coldspring suffered some big losses on offense (Gilbert, Monroe) and defense (Andries and Harrison) and those losses won't be easy to replace.  But they may not be as difficult as most folks think, either.

Okay, octfeb, there is your sneak preview! LOL!

They were ranked top 10 every year when they were 4A? That would suprise me when there were years they weren't even picked to finish 1st or 2nd in district.

Yes, even in 4a. Kinda strange. There were a few years I belive we werent in the preseason top ten but made it in in the first week or two of the season and vice versa. I think 96 was the only year we weren't ranked. We went 3 deep that year barely making it out of our district. 97 we were number 2 I believe and 98 number 1 and two flip floping with LaMarque.

[lp4life]

Coldspring will be very good, and once again take the district title, but they lost alot of talent it will be hard for them to make as deep a run. I hope they do. Just i think it will be very tough.

2012 ret.starters=Coldsprings 4 on off. 5 on def. Wimberly 8 & 8 (rutro)Argyle 6 & 7  Henderson 6 & 6

Where did you get this from? CS has 9 coming back on offense and about 7 on defense. Heck, look at the all district guys coming back.(6 on "O" and 6 on "D")

[T-Dawd]

These numbers were from 2011 returning starters.

[liltex]

Article is misleading,but you're correct Tepper is talking about 2011 season semi- finalist teams and how exp.players got them there.

[songone]

This Top 10 looks better than the 4A top ten.

[badndn]

Funny no preseason hype for WOS...This may be the year they make some real post season hype in 3A!
Of course the region got even harder with the addition of Lamarque. Having to go through CS and LM just to get outta the region wil lnot be easy.

[Yoe_09]

Don't forget about the likes of Navasota, La Vega, and Carthage.

These will go D1.

[Yoe_09]

Well, there is a pretty good shot that Navasota may go DII.  From what I have heard, Taylor is above Navasota in enrollment and I would not be surprised at all to see them at least 3rd.
