District 9 3A D1

[59n Sports]

This district is looking a lot different this season... 

Diboll

Hunnington

Palastine westwood

Coldspring

Shepherd 

Woodville 

Crockett

Shepherd moving out of the powerhouse district in 4a D2 as well as Woodville moving into district 9, it should really shake some things up come the last week of the season.

Many still have Diboll as the favorite and Coldspring as a contender, but let's not forget that Shepherd has had Coldsprings number for the last several years. 

 

Who do yallhave being the 1 seed out of this district?

Diboll 

2022 INFO- The Lumberjacks had their best season in school history a year ago advancing to the regional finals before falling to Lorena. Several key pieces from that team return, including two-way dynamo WR/DB- Zach Phipps (18-380, 3 TDs receiving; 44 tackles, 5 INTs) and DL- Elijah Freeman (76 tackles, 14 TFL, 6 sacks). QB- Hayden Harris (392 yards, 2 TDs passing; 306 yards, 4 TDs rushing) is back to lead Diboll’s ground-oriented attack. The big key for Diboll, who is big and physical up front, will be finding a featured running back to tote the mail.

Coldspring-Oakhurst 

2022 INFO- The Trojans will rely on experience at the skill spots to keep them in the mix for a district title. RB/LB- Easton Dean (1,143 yards, 13 TDs rushing) had a great sophomore campaign and could be a force for Coldspring. QB/DB- Luke Monroe (362 yards, 4 TDs passing; 173 yards, 4 TDs rushing; 2 INTs) got it done on both sides of the ball a year ago. TE/DB- Chrishun McGowen (63 tackles, 9 sacks) is a pass rushing force off the edge and leads the defense.
