Bastrop stunned Liberty Hill a year ago to win 11-5A Division II, the Bears return seven on defense and the offense has enough parts to make them dangerous. Liberty Hill expects to be improved, but they lost their head coach and the depth isn’t quite there with the opening of the district’s second high school. Pflugerville with QB Cole Taylor is the pick for the three seed, while the battle for the last spot should come down to Connally and Elgin.
San Antonio ISD should be competitive amongst each other, but I don’t anticipate any teams in 12-5A Division II getting out of the first round of the playoffs. Lanier and their eight starters on both sides of the ball is the pick to over-take Burbank who has won the district the past two years. Sam Houston with fourteen starters back is going to be dangerous as their overall team speed makes them a tough matchup, while Edison and Jefferson in the annual “Tommy Bowl,” will battle for the final playoff spot.
