[center][b][size=12pt]2011 Record: 0-10 Overall, 0-7 District (8th Place in District 10-2A-I)[/center]

[size=12pt]Times have been tough for the Warren Warrior football team as they suffered through another winless season in 2011.  However, a fresh start with a new head coach and a number of experienced starters are giving folks in Warren a lot of reason from optimism in 2012.  New head coach John Woodard, a coach of over 23 years experience, joins the Warren ISD after serving as an assistant for the Ganado Indians who went undefeated in their regular season in 2011.  This, along with sixteen returning starters should leave Warrior fans feeling good about the 2012 football season.
