Class 5A Rankings Posted
Our Class 5A rankings are now posted. The two 5A defending state champions, Euless Trinity and Abilene, are our top two picks. Frankly, it was hard to see it any other way with the nucleus both teams are returning.
DeSoto probably has the best offensive talent in the state, but they're not as well rounded as the teams in front of them. If their defense steps up this season they'll be a handful for any team they face.
Our top ten is full of familar programs, but the new kid on the block is Arlington Martin. We feel they just have too much talent to leave out of our top ten.
If you're looking for a darkhorse keep an eye on Plano. Even though they were only 5-7 last season, they return a solid nucleus after making their way in to the playoffs where they threw a scare in to eventual champion Euless Trinity.
Other teams to watch outside of our top twenty five are Leander, San Antonio Reagan, San Antonio Madison and Clear Springs. Tyler Lee has a talented team, but they play what undoubtedly has to be the toughest schedule in the state, as they have six teams on their schedule who are ranked in our top thirteen.

Who Drives the Car at Trinity?
The defending Class 5A DI state champion Euless Trinty Trojans will be searching for a new quarterback in 2010 and the question is, who is going to drive the car? The short answer is, does it matter?
The longer answer is that the Trojans have shown in the coach Steve Lineweaver era that they are a team that doesn't depend on their quarterback to carry them. With what seems like a never ending supply of NFL size linemen, all-state tight ends and plenty of speed at the skill positions, Trinity just expects someone to drive the car straight enough to let the rest of the team help carry them to the finish line.
Super athlete Brandon Carter, who is pledged to OU, is expected to rotate between the WR position he played last season, and QB, while Junior Lahi Kautai and Joel Sullivan look plenty capable when called upon.
