2022 INFO- Coach Amarantos has GPHS on solid footing with back-to-back playoff appearances but UIL Realignment did the Jackets no favors as they move east into a much tougher district. Galena Park runs the flexbone offense so they are always a tough matchup, but there will be a lot of youth with RB- Jordan Balderas (721 yards, 8 TDs rushing) leading the way after a good sophomore season. Sophomore QB- Daniel Gomez is expected to step in and lead the attack. When the ‘Jackets decide to put the ball in the air, they’ll look to WR- Jonathan Renteria (18-441, 2 TDs receiving). Galena Park’s defense will lead the way with six starters back, led by three-year starter DL Marshall (38 tackles, 21 TFL) and junior DB- Keenon Thomas (25 tackles, 2 INTs). 2021 Results- 8-3 Overall, Bi-District Finalist / 7-1 District Record Lettermen R/L- 17/22 Returning Starters- Offense- 4 Defense- 6 Impact Players DL- Timothy Marshall- 6-2, 280 DB- Keenon Thomas- 5-8, 150, 4.5 LB- Sebastian Bernal- 5-10, 215, 4.8 RB- Jordan Balderas- 5-9, 170, 4.6 WR- Jonathan Renteria- 5-10, 165, 4.5 QB- Daniel Gomez- 6-1, 195, 4.7 DL- Diego Quantanilla- 6-1, 225, 4.9 DB- Vincent Lopez- 5-7, 155, 4.6 OL- Rueben Escobar- 6-1, 295 Top Prospects OL- Justin Leal OL- Jorge Garcia

Santa Fe 2022 INFO- It’s been a rough go for the Indians, who are in a 14-game losing streak, but they are hopeful a new head coach in former Texas City assistant Blake Ryder can turn things around. Coach Ryder inherits an experienced squad that graduated just eight players from a year ago, so there is some positive momentum. RB/LB- Jackson Stroud (78 tackles) is a three-year starter and kick-blocking specialist who blocked four kicks a year ago. WR/DB- Kyeler Thompson and OL/DL- Anthony Arcidiacono are a pair of four-year starters who bring plenty of experience to the table for Sante Fe. RB/LB- Bryce Leal (81 tackles) had a big sophomore season, while OL Weaver started all 10 games up front as a sophomore. DB- Jarrett Pahkala (18 tackles) emerged late in his freshman season and will be a key contributor in the Indians secondary. 2021 Results- Overall Record- 0-10 / 0-7 District Record Lettermen R/L- 35/8 Returning Starters- Offense- 8 Defense-7 Impact Players RB/LB- Jackson Stroud- 5-11, 170 WR/DB- Kyeler Thompson- 5-11, 165 RB/LB Bryce Leal 5-9, 190 OL/DL- Anthony Arcidiacono 6-3, 215 DE- Franklin Alfaro 6-1, 220 Top Prospects WR/DB- Stephen Garcia 5-9, 160 OL Holden Weaver (-1, 210 DB Jarrett Pahkala 5-8, 135

Willowridge 2022 INFO- New head coach Kendron Penson arrives at WIllowridge after spending the past few seasons as an assistant at Fort Bend Hightower. He inherits an experienced squad that had a disappointing 2021 season that missed out on the playoffs. There are two experienced QBs on the roster in Blaize Covington (862 yards, 10 TDs passing) and Hightower transfer Kendron Penson Jr. (2,111 yards, 20 TDs passing; 5 TDs rushing). WR- Marxquise Hayes (19-315, 5 TDs receiving) and WR- Travis Willis will lead a dynamic group of receivers, Hayes also led the district in interceptions in 2021. The defense is full of experience and young talent led by junior DE- Steven Brantley and sophomore DL- Royce Wilson. Penson says the biggest concern heading into 2022 will be the offensive line, which graduated four starters 2021 Results- Overall Record- 4-5, 4-4 District Record Lettermen R/L- 20/10 Returning Starters- Offense- 6 Defense- 8 Impact Players QB- Blaize Covington 6-4, 205, 4.7 QB/DB- Kendron Penson, Jr. 5-10, 170, 4.6 WR- Travis Willis 5-9, 155, 4.5 WR- Marxquise Hayes 5-10, 155, 4.6 WR- Anthony Momon-Lattimore 6-2, 195, 4.6 RB/LB- Tulio Nunez 5-9, 170, 4.6 DE- Steven Brantley 6-1, 245 OL- Issac Orellana 6-4, 290 Top Prospects DL- Royce Wilson 6-0, 200 DE-Christian McCardell

2022 INFO- After an undefeated regular season the Marshall Buffs took a stunning defeat in the 1st rd. of the playoffs a year ago. Coach Williams says the newly aligned district is much tougher top to bottom, but that could mean his squad will be battle tested come playoff time. ATH-Ja'Koby Banks (1,358 yards, 22 TDs passing; 1,093 yards, 19 TDs rushing) is one of the state’s most dynamic players who can play multiple positions although it’s likely he directs the offense once again. RBs- Jy Wortham (569 yards, 9 TDs rushing) and Jarrod Howard (352 yards, 6 TDs rushing) will likely split carries in Marshall’s up-tempo spread offense. The defensive line is loaded with FBS prospects, led by Zachary Chapman (37 tackles, 2 sacks) and Trent Thomas (45 tackles, 9 TFL, 2 sacks), while the always speedy Buffs secondary will be outstanding, led by Michael Patterson (30 tackles, 3 INTs). 2021 Results- 10-1 Overall, Bi-District Finalist / 8-0 District Record Lettermen R/L- 26/28 Returning Starters- returning Offense- 6 Defense- 6 Impact Players DB- Michael Patterson- 6-0, 180, 4.4- 40yd speed ATH- Ja’Koby Banks- 5-10, 170, 4.5- 40yd speed RB- Jy’Adrian Wortham- 6-0, 175, 4.5- 40yd speed WR- Ja’Kayden Ferguson- 6-3, 170, 4.5- 40yd speed DL- Zachary Chapman- 6-6, 270, 4.8- 40yd speed DL- Trent Thomas- 6-6, 245, 4.7- 40yd speed OL- Anthony Chatman- 6-3, 285, 4.9- 40yd speed RB- Jarrod Howard- 5-11, 185, 4.5- 40yd speed DT- Koryn Randals- 6-1, 260, 4.9- 40yd speed Top Prospects QB- Jordan Davis DE- Logan Granville OL Bieshawn Mitchell LB- Jordan Sample OL Jaron Wallace DB- Donovan Jackson DT- Reginald Willis WR- Ke’von Misher

2022 INFO- Texas City had a big season with 10 wins and an area round playoff appearance and with six starters back on offense and defense, Coach Surovik’s squad is poised to challenge in a district that got tougher with the addition of powerful Fort Bend Marshall team. RB- Caleb Bell (1,123 yards, 19 TDs rushing) had a big sophomore season and is the workhorse for Texas City’s offense, but he’ll run behind a young offensive line. DE- Szyron Scott (39 tackles, 16 TFL, 12 sacks), fresh off a sensational sophomore campaign, is a disruptive force on the defensive line. LB- Camryn Grief (59 tackles, 14 TFL, 1 sack) also returns after a big sophomore season. Aside from inexperience on the offensive line, the biggest question mark will be depth in the defensive front seven. 2021 Results- 10-2 Overall, Area Finalist / 6-1 District Record Lettermen R/L- 30/17 Returning Starters- Offense- 6 Defense- 6 Impact Players QB-Joey Duran- 5-8, 160, 4.7-40yd speed DE- Szyron Scot-t 6-2, 205, 4.6-40yd speed RB- Caleb Bell- 5-10, 235, 4.5-40yd speed OL- Caden Teeples- 5-11, 225, 4.8-40yd speed DB- Aldrick Stromile- 6-1, 200, 4.7-40yd speed TE/DE- Evan Tullos- 6-1, 210, 4.7-40yd speed LB- Camryn Grief- 6-2, 190, 4.7-40yd speed DT- Christian White- 5-11, 240, 4.9-40yd speed RB/DB- Maurice Burton- 5-10, 165, 4.6-40yd speed Top Prospects WR/DB- Clyde Burton III RB- Trini Garcia DT- Bryce Williams RB- Ricky Green WR- Kenyon Parker DB- Evan Simmons

Shadow Creek will be a nice team to see & good test to gauge B.H. offense vs. a legit D. The Shadow Creek Sharks rolled to a district title a year ago and could be poised to challenge for a regional title in 2022 with 13 starters returning, plus help from a JV team that posted an 8-2 record. The offense is led by QB Butler (1,922 yards, 29 TDs passing) and RB Burton (760 yards, 8 TDs rushing), while ATH Washington averaged 6.5 yards per carry a year ago and will be utilized all over the field. Where the Sharks will really be elite could be on the defensive side of the ball where they have multiple FBS prospects led by DEs Randle (42 tackles, 5 sacks) and Taylor (18 tackles, 4 sacks). LB Edmonson (72 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 INT) is the top returning tackler, while junior DB Williams (47 tackles, 1 INT) is a four-star prospect who already holds double digit offers. Top Players- DB Maurice Williams (6-2, 185, 4.5), QB Duke Butler (6-1, 175, 4.5), DE Theorin Randle (6-2, 265, 4.9), DE Zion Taylor (6-2, 230, 4.8), LB Robert Edmonson (6-1, 200, 4.7), ATH Jacob Washington (6-1, 180, 4.6). Top juniors: LB Ethan Judge (5-11, 180, 4.8), RB Tylik Burton (5-9, 170, 4.7). Top sophomore: WR Jacorey Watson (6-0, 165, 4.5).

[Hidden Content] 4A Division II: Silsbee One of 2021’s most confounding teams. The highs were very high, like beating eventual regional finalist Pleasant Grove and upsetting white-hot Hamshire-Fannett in district play; but the lows were pretty low, like a disappointing season-opening defeat at the hands of Vidor and a stunning loss to Orangefield in the district opener. Can coach Randy Smith steady the ship and get the Tigers playing more consistent? History suggests so — remember: this is a program just four years removed from a state semifinal run — and so does the roster — receiver Dre’lon Miller is among the most dynamic players in all of Class 4A.

Valid points & good info. I figured with the last hires Sterling & Lee finally found good coaches to keep them in the playoff hunt more consistently. If these coaching staffs are that inept & in over their heads then I agree any talent that comes thru those schools will get wasted with no playoff runs.

You are correct, Meeks did have a good head coaching career & was good at turning programs around.

Imagine a school board arguing with a coach who recently won a state championship over the coaches he can bring with him to a school that was not a very good football program the 25 years prior. Typical tho, most school boards have one or two good common sense people, the rest are usually power grabbing arrogant idiots.😎

After reading the district teams previews what teams besides Crosby & P.A. are that much better then Sterling or Lee that they can't be in the playoff mix this year?
