Training camp starts tomorrow for the Elks. Will have two scrimmages on the schedule with Birdville and Cleburne. The Elks will be very young but have talented underclassmen. There may be some growing pains with the youngsters as they embark on a tough non district schedule. Just don't have a for sure vibe yet. It really is a we'll see?

It seems pretty accurate. I would say for DII as well. I think the Elks are gonna have a tough go of it. They got shalacked, man handled, out ran, out blocked and any other word you can use in their scrimmage with Grapevine. The last four seasons the Elks were 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, and 8-4. 6-4 would be a major accomplishment for them this season.

If they still look like that come district then yeah it time to be worried.

Putting up yardage and points is great but if you canโt anybody at least just enough, then that is problematic. Looked like the Cowboys defense did against the Broncos.

And, they had better figure out whatever adjustments they need to make like, really quick because they open up with a tough Cent10 who will be looking to knock their block off and then from there they draw #5 Lone Star and finish non-district with Weatherford. Then they get to deal with Summitt, Ennis and upstart Midlo Heritage in district. The Elks will have their hands full with the entirety of their schedule, no doubt.

And yes, Grapevine could make some noise. From an execution standpoint they looked pretty good the other night. They have good size and speed at all positions as well. They will be a tough draw.

From TXTopTalent on twitter. Interesting to mix the divisions. Never heard of them before but wanted to post this. No College Station seems like a really big miss.

College Station lost a lot to Graduation. Not completely decimated but enough to plant some seeds of doubt. Still, I have them at the top of the district. At least until proven different.
