Longform 5-4A preview:
1. Denton Guyer: Won a state championship last year and will be expected to repeat, though the road might be a bit tougher this time around with three FBS signees gone. But, Jerrod Heard. Heard and senior RB D.J. Breedlove will carry the offense, but who will Heard throw to? Former backup QB David Haynes is moving out to WR to get his athleticism on the field (though he'll still serve as Heard's backup), while rising junior Alex Honey has potential. The O-line has the gaping hole left by TCU signee Patrick Morris, but Walsh will find somebody to fill in. The defense was questionable last year but does return both starting corners, and rising junior DL Carl Thompson is a budding star. Definitely the team to beat in 5-4A, though the gap isn't that big between them and...
2. Wichita Falls Rider: State semifinalist last year, and don't discount the five extra weeks of practice time they got. Rising senior QB Chase London got valuable experience last year after J.T. Barrett went down, and the offense has athletes out the ass with RB Carlos Fleeks and WR Davon Allison (who saw some time at QB last year as well), and sophomore QB T.J. Vasher has potential. The defense, led by LB Sam Scribner, is stacked; Rider has a strong crop of seniors that will be looking to finish the job after a gutpunch loss to Lancaster denied them a trip to Jerry World. I'm almost tempted to call them 1a; and, this year the game with Guyer is in Wichita Falls.
3. Byron Nelson: On the other hand, the gap between the top two and everybody else is wide, but Nelson, with star RB Tylor Blake running behind mammoth OL Anders Huizenga, looks like a clear third. Nelson narrowly missed the playoffs after a loss to Azle in Week 9 and a tiebreaker on points, but I thought they were the third-best team in the district last year. They're in their fourth year of varsity and seem to be building a solid program. The defense only has two starters back, but strong sub-varsity squads will provide reinforcements.
4. Azle: The Hornets lose star QB Corbyn Koiner and workhorse RB Hunter McDonald, but if they can find a QB they should be fine. History isn't really on their side in the battle with Lake Dallas for the last playoff spot, and they do lose 12 starters, but they should be getting reinforcements from a 10-0 JV team (yes, they even beat Guyer and Rider.) Most outside observers (cough Dave Campbell's) are writing them off because of personnel losses, but this is a program on the upswing and I think they sneak in with the fourth playoff spot.
5. Lake Dallas: Going out on a limb here, as the Falcons haven't missed the playoffs since 2001 (though in some years they've been barely sneaking in.) I think this is the year that streak ends. They only return 8 starters off a team that really wasn't all that great, and they don't have much coming up from JV. The freshman team last year did have some talent; figure on 2013 being a rebuilding year in Corinth. The one possible saving grace is that they get Azle at home in Week 10, which will probably be for all the marbles.
6. Wichita Falls: Old High had a 10-0 freshman team in 2011; but, the lack of depth in the program meant that most of those guys got thrown into the fire last year. The result was a last-place finish with a bunch of talented sophomores taking their lumps, and it didn't help that rising senior QB Zack Murphy got hurt early in the season. With a new coach and with that talented 2015 class having a year of experience under their belts, the Coyotes should be improved -- though making the playoffs will be a stretch.
7. Denton: Guyer and Ryan's kid brother showed some improvement in 2012, but it still wasn't enough to even sniff a playoff berth. Rising senior QB Cy Ward is a solid signal-caller, but the Broncos still face a rather sizable talent gap between them and the Guyers of the world. Look for more improvement in their second year under a new coaching staff, but I'm not holding my breath on them being a playoff threat.
8. White Settlement Brewer: Like Wichita Falls, Brewer will be breaking in a new coach, but unlike Wichita Falls, in this case a coaching change wasn't really warranted. Paul Sharr had a 23-27 record in five years and never got Brewer to the playoffs -- but then, they went 13-37 in the five years before he arrived and haven't made the playoffs since 1999. Plus, Brewer waited until May to make the change. Between all that and losing their star RB, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Bears drop to the cellar.

Ray Flour Bluff Alice Martin E-E Mercedes Roma Mission Vets Why Ray at the top spot? Other than that, I believe those are the teams in 31-4A that will make the playoffs.

If not him, I'm sure Tivy will have a very capable QB and whoever that QB is........He'll have a couple of very big targets to throw the ball at!! I'd also suspect Tivy's D will be MUCH improved over last year's as will their O-line which was very undersized last year.

We have two Qb's that will battle it out for the starting job, Jones and a kid that transfered in from Lake Travis. I have a feeling the LT kid will end up starting before its all said and done. He has a better arm than Mcneil but is not as good as a runner. But we have four starting receivers returning with one of those moving to RB. The receivers are 6'4,6'3 and 6ft as far as the line we have three starters returning but as Clemensbuff said they will be undersized. Defense should be alot stronger with alot of kids coming back on that side of the ball. DCFB mag has ret 6 and 6 starters its more like 7 and 8 because we have so many kids that rotate in and out of the game. The coaches are trying to keep kids fresher and build depth going into the playoffs.
