There’s not a better district in the state of Texas in 4A-Division I than 7-4A Division I, where defending state champion Celina is the headliner. The Bobcats are likely in their swan song as a 4A program so they have the advantage of big numbers and an elite group of skill players, but they lost their entire offensive line and several key pieces on defense. Frisco Panther Creek is headlined by three elite level prospects, but can the State 7-on-7 champions build the complimentary pieces to take Celina out like they did in 2023? Sulphur Springs is picked third in district and the Wildcats are a legit top ten team with the most experience back of anyone in the district. Paris looks to over-take a young Aubrey squad for the final playoff spot, the Wildcats offense will be absolutely loaded.
Expect some competitive games in the Dallas ISD 4A district, with last year’s champion Kimball getting the ever so slight edge over Carter, on paper the two teams are evenly matched, expect a close game in the Oak Cliff Super Bowl to decide the district crown. There’s a second tier of evenly matched teams for the final two playoff spots with five teams realistically having a case for the playoffs. Only Dallas Conrad enters the year as a long shot.
