11-5A D1 2025 Season

[OlDawg]

• Angleton O/D 8/4
• Crosby O/D 8/6
• Friendswood O/D 4/4
• Kempner O/D 4/7
• Kingwood Park O/D 4/4
• La Porte O/D 7/7
• Pasadena O/D 8/5
• Porter O/D 5/5

Texas Football’s Prediction:

1. La Porte
2. Angleton
3. Friendswood
4. Crosby

Personally, I’d reverse Friendswood & Crosby due to returners. I think the Cougars could be a surprise spoiler. La Porte has 8 home games this year. If the Bulldogs can get the QB position to be more of a threat along with the running game, the offense could be more potent than last year. Someone will need to fill the leadership roles to continue the program ‘rebirth.’ Angleton returns a ton of talent on offense. But, they lost a lot on defense. I look for them to be more explosive this year with more high-scoring shootouts.

Key Game-Angleton at La Porte

Texas Football’s Pick for Region 3 Finals:

• La Porte over Angleton

Preseason State Rankings:

• La Porte (6)
• Angleton (7)

LaPorte/Angleton is probably going to be a total toss-up on paper....

Angleton did lose a lot on defense, but I expect them to be much better on offense, especially getting Jammer back healthy after the season ending injury......the other thing about Angleton is they know how to defend LaPorte's offense better than most...so they have in inherent advantage..

LaPorte's got to develop some weapons aside from Simon....what made them great last year was they had 3 guys who could hurt you...moving Sandolph to wingback really made that offense dynamic....is there a guy like that they can plug in? Saenz has the experience at QB, but the young kid is uber-talented....how the staff handles that QB situation especially if the youngster impresses will be vital for LaPorte...

Right now I have LaPorte in the state championship game...they've got that kind of potential...but Angleton is right there with em.....should be fun

Wells could be a key. But, don't want to kick Saenz to the curb. He's paid his dues and been consistent running the offense. Pretty low mistake ratio. Just not really an offensive threat. So, it's a lost offensive position weapon. If they could find a way to move Saenz to receiver and utilize Wells, that would be a luxury. To my knowledge, Bright is still another RB weapon as well. So, you could have Reynolds (TE), Smith & Saenz (WR), Simon & Bright (RB), and Wells (QB). Will have to see.

Losing the leadership of Barnes and Sandolph will be tough to replace.

Last year, they were also fortunate to enter the PO's relatively injury free. That will be key again. Region 3 is gonna be a war.

Looks like Alijah Bright (RB/LB) may be at Goose Creek Memorial now? That would be a loss for LP. Also, don’t see the DC’s name. Big loss there…

Interesting.

That would be Kaleb Jammer, WR who was the leading receiver last year in predistrict, but broke his ankle before district. HIs brother Kasen , a CB, was named defensive newcomer of the year for the district as a soph last year. They have quite an NFL connection; their father Quentin Jammer was a CB in the NFL for 12 years and their uncle, Quandre Diggs was a safety in the NFL 10 years. With the Titans last yeat, he had a lisfrank injury and at 32 may not get another chance to play. While with the Titans, he put in a good word for his cousin, Cam Ward, who they drafted with the 1st pick. Kasen's DC Gilbert Gardner Jr., an Angleton grad, was a LB in the NFL for several years. I hope to see Kasen in the NFL too. The WR I'm waiting to see is Juel Peterson who was 2nd team all-district as a freshman at a Houston 6A, transferred and spent last year on Angleton's JV. He's also a kick returner. As for the defense, they should be ok. Three of the starters received post season honors, DL Brynden Mack was named honorable mention all-state by TSWA, TraeVonne Latimer was 2nd team all district and Kasen Jammer, the defensive newcomer. The new starters have been running this defense since 7th grade so I expect by district play they will be in fine form.
