2A/3A Preseason Top 10s, Texas HS Football
Can Canadian and Refugio return to the throne room in 2019?
by Longhorn Putt
Canadian head coach Chris Koetting is overdue. His Wildcats gave Newton a scare is the 2018 final, 21-16, and he has more experience returning than Elizabeth Taylor had at getting married. I pick Canadian as my 3A2 preseason #1.
Also, I'm sticking with Mason and Mart at the top spots in 2A1 and 2A2, two months in advance of their 2019 openers. A lot of raters think this will be the year (again) for Jason Herring's Refugio Bobcats. But in my book, the Cats have to prove it with predistrict wins over Goliad and, yes, Mart. Until then.....
Grandview could repeat. Underscore the fact that Dane Jentsch returns to direct the Zebra attack.
Stay tuned. It's going to be another exciting season, all the way to the last wire in AT&T.
