Here’s a look ahead. 2022 YEAR IN REVIEW After four years as La Marque’s head football coach, Shone Evans made the short trip to lead the Texas City program last season, and there was little to no drop-off on the field under the guidance of Evans, who was a longtime assistant with the Stings before taking the Cougars job. Texas City reached the postseason — no easy task in that district — last year as a No. 4 seed, but fell to Montgomery Lake Creek in the opening round of the playoffs. Another longtime Texas City assistant coach, Blake Ryder, took over as Santa Fe’s head coach last year, and guided the Indians to the most improved season of any team in the county — or in the Houston area, for that matter. After going 0-10 in 2021, Santa Fe improved to 6-4 last season, but fell just short of a postseason berth with a fifth-place finish in the 9-5A- II standings. SANTA FE PREVIEW 2022: 6-4 overall, 3-4 in district Ryder brings an old-school football approach to his system, focusing on running and playing sound defense, and the Indians took to it rapidly last year with the program’s first winning season since 2017. “A lot of last season was some shock that we were able to do it, and hopefully this year, they’ll believe they can do it,” Ryder said. “Everything we’ve gone through from last season to this season should help with that.” With a full offseason in the system and plenty of seasoned players back in the fold, Santa Fe will be eying one of the district’s playoff spots in 2023 following last season’s fifth-place finish in 9-5A-II. “We’ve got to win one more than we did last year to reach our goal, and that’s to get into the playoffs,” Ryder said. The Indians lost only one starter on offense from a year ago, and returning QB Kase Albrecht, who Ryder said made great strides last season, is the field general on that side of the ball. RB Joseph Floyd should see his number called plenty as the lead back in Santa Fe’s run-heavy attack. DL Franklin Alfaro is expected to be Santa Fe’s defensive leader for a unit that returns seven starters, and on both sides of the ball, the Indians will look to be strong in the trenches.

FORT BEND MARSHALL 2022: 12-2 overall, 7-0 in district, reached fourth round of playoffs In a program as talent-rich as Marshall’s, there’s not really such a thing as a rebuilding season, but the defending District 9-5A-II champs and regional finalist Buffaloes will be light in the experience department in 2023 with just nine returning starters (four offense, five defense) and, notably, four new starters on the offensive line. The Buffs dominated district play a year ago, winning every game by three touchdowns or more, and cruised through their first three playoff games before having their postseason ended in a rematch against 9-5A-II runner-up Port Neches- Groves in the regional finals. Marshall’s secondary, led by DB Joshua Lair, looks to be the strength of this season’s team. PORT NECHES-GROVES 2022: 13-3 overall, 6-1 in district, reached Class 5A-II state final PN-G stumbled in both its season opener and district opener, but caught lightning in a bottle in the playoffs with a magical run all the way to Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, where the Indians were topped 34-24 in the state championship game against Dallas Oak Cliff. PN-G only returns seven starters (four offense, three defense) from that state finalist team, but among the returners are some key playmakers — including dynamic athlete Shea Adams expected to line up behind center and late-season standout Isaiah Nguyen at running back — who Indians faithful hope will be solid building blocks for another season to remember. DAYTON 2022: 7-4 overall, 5-2 in district, reached first round of playoffs Just two seasons removed from an 0-10 year and after snapping a 23-game district losing streak in 2021, Dayton enjoyed a breakout season in 2022 that saw the Broncos finish as the district’s No. 3 seed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2015. With 11 returning starters (five offense, six defense), Dayton has some hope to build on the success the program saw last season, but the Broncos will be inexperienced at the skill positions on offense with WR Braedon White being the team’s top returner in that department. That said, Dayton is likely to lean on its defense early in the season, which will be headed up by DB Jakari Cooper. NEDERLAND 2-8 overall, 2-5 in district A consistently successful program just two years removed from a district championship, Nederland had its worst season since 1991 in 2022, but anchored by a veteran defense that returns eight starting players, led by quick edge rusher Albert Simon, the Bulldogs are eying a bounce-back campaign in 2023. The Bulldogs’ offense returns five starters from a year ago, and is poised to be led by RB Hubert Thomas and QB Ayden Sunday. A resurgent Nederland team could make District 9-5A-II all the more competitive this upcoming season. FORT BEND WILLOWRIDGE 1-9 overall, 1-6 in district Two years removed from a 7-3 season and a playoff appearance, Willowridge struggled in a much more competitive District 9-5A-II in 2022. But, district foes would be unwise to sleep on the Eagles, who will have a slew of promising athletes on the 2023 team. Willowridge will bring 13 returning starters (seven offense, six defense) and a potentially explosive offense led by QB Kendron Penson Jr. into the new season. If the Eagles are able to rebuild and fill holes on its offensive and defensive lines, they have the makings for a much-improved season in 2023. GALENA PARK 3-7 overall, 0-7 in district There was plenty to like for Galena Park fans when the team started its 2022 campaign at 3-0, but then things fell apart for the Yellowjackets in their much more daunting district games, as they finished the season on a seven- game losing skid, with five of those losses coming by five touchdowns or more. In 2021, the Yellowjackets were district runners-up and playoff-bound, and they’ll hope to shake off the tough 2022 season and work back toward playing at that level behind 13 returning starters (seven offense, six defense). While not the fastest bunch on either side of the ball, Galena Park will try to grind games out with its flexbone offense led by QB Daniel Gomez. “We have to be more physical and tougher than everyone we play,” Ryder said. “We’re never going to be a team that’s going to go out there and out-run everybody, but we can be more physical and we can be more tough.” TEXAS CITY PREVIEW 2022: 6-5 overall, 5-3 in district, reached first round of playoffs Like most years, the talent is there for the Stings, but what sets the 2023 squad apart is a special senior class with leadership intangibles the likes of which aren’t seen too often, Evans said. “We have a great group of leaders who hold each other accountable; this is a group that you can say, ‘go,’ and they go,” Evans said. “They love being around each other.” Texas City returns seven offensive starters and six starters on defense for a solid core of experience, and, following their motto of “whatever it takes,” many of the 20 seniors on this year’s team will see significant minutes on both sides of the ball plus special teams, Evans said. Expected to be the Stings’ leaders on each side will be senior QB Joey Duran and senior LB Diego Battles. Bruising RB Caleb Bell also will be back for the Stings, and adding a big-play wrinkle to the offense is RB Rickey Green, a track standout who was hampered by injuries last season but comes into 2023 with a clean bill of health. Other players to keep an eye out for on defense for Texas City include quick and disruptive edge rushers Szyron Scott and Camryn Grief, while a pair of WR/DBs in Clyde Burton and Xavier Skowron look to be playmakers on both sides of the ball. Following last year’s fourth- place finish in district, the Stings will look to climb up the ranks in a 9-5A-II lineup that includes perennial powerhouse Fort Bend Marshall and a Port Neches- Groves team that made it all the way to the Class 5A, Division II state championship in 2022. “We play in one of the toughest districts in the state,” Evans said. “You don’t have a cakewalk week in this district, and I’m going to do everything that I can to have the Texas City Stings in the best place they can be in and make sure we’re prepared every week. We’re going to coach our tails off, and make sure we’ve done everything we can to make sure our kids are in the best situation they can be in.” OPENS SEPTEMBER 5TH 6807 Emmett F Lowry Expressway, Suite 303 Texas City, TX 77591 832-706-3326 • www.HeightsSkin.com General DermatologyCosmetic DermatologySurgical Dermatology SERVICES Heights Dermatology | Dermatologists & Mohs Surgery located in The Heights and Willowbrook, Houston, Rosenberg, Lake Jackson, Portland, Corpus Christi, Palacios, Columbus, Inside the THRIVE Healthplex, Gonzales, Dallas, Mansfield, Beaumont, Bay City, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Spring, Wichita Falls, Tomball and Texas City, TX August 2023 | Football Preview | The Daily News | 11 DISTRICT 9-5A-II OPPONENTS JENNIFER REYNOLDS/The Daily News file photo ABOVE: Santa Fe running back Joseph Floyd gets the ball in the first quarter Sept. 24, 2021, against the Texas City Stings at Joe Raitano Field in Santa Fe.

STUART VILLANUEVA/The Daily News file photo12 | The Daily News | Football Preview | August 2023 DISTRICT 10-4A-II FOOTBALL LA MARQUE HOPES FOR BETTER RESULTS AFTER RIGOROUS OFFSEASON ‘SKY’S THE LIMIT’ By JAMES LACOMBE The Daily News T here was a time when a 2-8 high school football season would be unimaginable in La Marque, but the Cougars — clad in blue, gold and white — are adopting a blue-collar approach to shake off last year’s campaign and steer the program back toward the winning ways of its glory days. Here’s a look ahead at La Marque’s 2023 football season, as well as some notes on a sturdy lineup of the Cougars’ District 10- 4A-II opponents. 2022 YEAR IN REVIEW The Cougars were competitive enough in district play for it to come down to the last game, but last season ultimately saw a streak of consecutive playoff appearances that stretched back to 2010 come to an end. A football program that has missed the playoffs only three times since 1990 isn’t accustomed to a rebuilding year, but the Cougars’ 2022 campaign could be seen as that. A new coaching regime headed up by La Marque alumnus Wade Oliphant took the first small steps toward bringing the Coogs back to prominence after having only one season since 2017 (2019) with an above .500 overall record, as well as just one playoff win (2017) in that span. La Marque shook off an 0-5 start to the 2022 season — which included an 0-4 mark in non-district games and a district-opening loss to eventual 10-4A-II champs Bellville — to get to a win-and-get-in playoff scenario in the season’s final game, but the Coogs saw that game against Sealy slip away. LA MARQUE PREVIEW 2022: 2-8 overall, 2-4 in district In more ways than one, experience will be a strength this year’s Cougars team has over the 2022 version, as 13 starting players (seven offense, six defense) will be back in the fold and will do so after a rigorous offseason program that Oliphant is hoping will have his squad better developed both physically and mentally for this season. “We were under-manned, at times, last season, strength-wise and speed-wise, and I think they realized that they needed a strong offseason to prepare themselves for the tough district schedule that we go through,” Oliphant said. On the offensive side of the ball, La Marque will have some solid centerpieces to build around, led by workhorse senior RB Salahadin Allah (who recently committed to Sam Houston State), senior center Maxwell Sanja and junior QB Anthony Miles, who impressed with the playing time he received last season as a sophomore and who Oliphant called one of the team’s hardest workers. The Coogs’ defense will be headlined by a pair of speedy senior DBs in Dedrick Cooper and Tavean Payton, while the team’s most utilized player may just be two-way standout Dylan Thomas, who is coming off a first-team all-district season and is garnering interest from Division I college scouts. La Marque’s non-district schedule remains rugged, highlighted by games against in- county rivals Ball High (which had a 10-0 regular season in Class 5A last year) and Hitchcock (expected to be a Class 3A state title contender this season). District play offers no easy weeks, either, but with a one- week-at-a-time mindset, Oliphant is confident his Coogs can have an accomplished 2023 season. “The expectation is that we’ll play a full four quarters each game and let the chips fall where they may,” Oliphant said. “We feel like the sky’s the limit, but we don’t know what our potential is because we’ve just kept our heads down and worked.” JENNIFER REYNOLDS/The Daily News file photos CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: La Marque’s Salahadin Allah tries to fight through the tackle of Wheatley’s Taddrick Davis during the first quarter Sept. 1, 2022, at TCISD Stadium in Texas City. Davis was called for a face mask penalty on the play; La Marque quarterback Anthony Miles throws in the first quarter hands off the ball to Salahadin Allah in the second quarter Nov. 4, 2022, against the Sealy Tigers at Stingaree Stadium in Texas City; La Marque’s Dylan Thomas picks up a few yards in the first quarter Aug. 26, 2022, against the Ball High Tors at Kermit Courville Stadium in Galveston. DISTRICT 10-4A-II OPPONENTS BELLVILLE 2022: 11-1 overall, 6-0 in district, reached second round of playoffs The Brahmas extended their regular season winning streak to 23 games, but were left wanting more after a shorter- than-expected playoff run that saw Bellville avenge last season’s third-round playoff loss to West Orange-Stark only to suffer a low-scoring upset to Madisonville in the area round. Ten returning starters (five offense, five defense) will be back to carry on the Brahmas’ regular season standard of excellence while also desiring a deep postseason journey. Leaders for Bellville include RB Sam Hranicky, who should again post solid numbers as the lead back of the Brahmas’ slot-T offense, and imposing DL D.J. Sanders. BROOKSHIRE ROYAL 2022: 9-2 overall, 5-1 in district, reached first round of playoffs After taking a significant leap forward in success in year No. 2 under head coach Theadis Reagins (going from four total wins and a fifth-place district finish in 2021 to nine wins and a runner-up finish in 2022) and with a whopping 17 returning starters (nine offense, eight defense), the Falcons could be poised to topple Bellville from atop the district and to have a longer postseason stay. A balanced offensive attack for Royal is set to be led by returning QB Ashton Robinson and RB Zakai Anderson, while another standout returner on defense, DL Zechariah Robinson, looks to once again wreak havoc on opposing offenses this season. SEALY 2022: 7-5 overall, 4-2 in district, reached second round of playoffs It may not be a rebuilding season for the Tigers, but it’ll certainly be a re-tooling year, as the team has some promising pieces in place. The program — just three years removed from a district championship — looks for its seventh straight winning season. Sealy will have eight offensive starters returning, and likely at the helm will be a sophomore making the move from WR to QB in Kane Killough. The Tigers’ defense has only four returning starters, but couldn’t ask for much better building blocks than LBs Jeffery Neu and Hector Murillo, who each averaged more than 10 tackles per game last season. WEST COLUMBIA 2022: 5-6 overall, 3-3 in district, reached first round of playoffs The Roughnecks will look to put together a third consecutive playoff season, something the program hasn’t done since 2014-16, and early on likely will lean on a defense that returns seven starters as they seek to stave off hungry challengers in the district. Columbia’s offense, on the other hand, will be a work in progress with just four returning starters. The wing-T attack has a pair of experienced playmakers in RBs Trevon Lewis and Jaheim Campbell, but the Roughnecks will have to shore up its offensive line to get the run-heavy offense off the ground. WHARTON 2022: 3-7 overall, 1-5 in district The Tigers’ season started off in strong fashion at 3-2, including winning their district opener against Sweeny, but they’ll have to go into the 2023 season needing to shake off a five-game losing skid at the finish of the 2022 campaign. On the bright side, Wharton’s 2022 season represented progress from back-to-back 0-10 years and saw the Tigers end a 22-game losing streak. Wharton now will look for more progress in 2023 and will do so with a solid core of six returning starters on both offense and defense. Expected to lead the way are DL Jacoryan Dickerson, RB Brandon Sims and two-way standout Jacorric Allen. SWEENY 2022: 1-9 overall, 0-6 in district The Bulldogs went from 14 straight playoff appearances (including their most recent district title in 2019) to sinking all the way to the bottom of the district standings in 2022, but ample experience plus a new head coach-QB/father-son duo offers hope for a major bounce-back season in 2023. All 11 starters return for Sweeny on defense, and the only starting spot not returning offense will be filled by a seasoned player as QB Ace Selbert — fresh off a 20 TD season at Rockport-Fulton — joins his father and new head coach Jay Seibert to take over as signal caller.

Stiff competition awaits the Bulldogs throughout the year, but featuring a lineup filled with players boasting top-notch skills and ample varsity experience, hopes are high for the football team to put an exclamation point on a 2023 that already has been one for the record books in Hitchcock. Here’s a glimpse at what’s ahead for the Bulldogs in the 2023 football season. 2022 YEAR IN REVIEW Hitchcock made its presence known on Texas’ Class 3A, Division I football scene before last season even began by winning the Division II State 7on7 championship in the summer — a feat the group repeated this past summer. The team then went on to post an impressive 11-2 record in 2022 that included winning the District 12-3A championship and reaching the third round of the postseason, where the Bulldogs were topped by eventual state champion Franklin. Hitchcock rocketed to a 9-0 start to the season, beginning with a bang by blowing out perennial Class 2A state power Refugio (49-12) and including a dramatic last-second road win over then-No. 2 state-ranked Columbus in district play. The Bulldogs also tallied a thrilling second-half comeback victory over Woodville in the area round of the playoffs before bowing out of the postseason. HITCHCOCK PREVIEW 2022: 11-2 overall, 3-1 in district, reached third round of playoffs On the heels of a successful 2022 season, overall experience will be a strength for the Bulldogs in 2023, as they return all but one starter on offense and nine more starters on defense from a year ago. “They’re super hard-working guys, they’re fun to be around,” Hitchcock head football coach Craig Smith said. “They’re a very self-motivated group of guys. … We don’t talk about goals — we talk about setting standards and keep raising the bar on the standards.” Headlining that group will be the core four of junior QB Lloyd Jones III, senior RB Bryce Dorsey, junior WR/DB Kelshaun Johnson and senior WR/DB Damien McDaniel (the defending Galveston County player of the year). The quartet all started for Hitchcock’s 2023 state championship basketball team, played key roles on the track and field team that set new program benchmarks in the spring, and each is garnering considerable interest from Division I college football scouts. In particular, Johnson’s sprint to the state track meet seemed to spark a litany of college football offers that now includes multiple Power 5 teams. Also expected to stand out on the gridiron this season for the Bulldogs are LBs Terrell Allen (the team’s leading tackler in 2022) and Gatlin Smith on defense, RB Terrence Allen, and offensive line anchors Albert Ruben and Robert Boysen. “All of this started a long, long time ago,” Smith said. “You’ve got a special group of parents who kept their kids involved ever since they were little, and most of their parents all played together here. It’s just more like a family atmosphere. The success they’re having today in football or track or winning state in basketball, this was started a long time ago.” Coming in at No. 7 in the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Class 3A-I preseason state rankings, Hitchcock will have another district showdown, this time at home, against No. 4 Columbus in the regular season, and the Bulldogs’ playoff path to a hopeful trip to AT&T Stadium likely will include No. 1 Franklin and/or No. 6 Lorena (the 2021 Class 3A-I state champion).

BELOW: Hitchcock’s Bryce Dorsey dashes to the end zone during the second quarter Sept. 16, 2022, against Wheatley at Bulldog Stadium in Hitchcock. DISTRICT 12-3A-I OPPONENTS COLUMBUS 2022: 12-2 overall, 3-1 in district, reached fourth round of playoffs The Cardinals have five starters each on offense and defense returning from last season’s team that reached the regional final, but even with plenty of new faces, the expectation is to reload rather than rebuild, as they enter 2023 as one of the state’s highest ranked teams in Class 3A-I. Columbus’ leaders on both sides of the ball actually have family ties, with QB Adam Schobel, a junior in his third year as a starter who tossed for more than 2,700 yards last year, helming the offense, and junior LB John Schobel, who racked up nearly 200 tackles and was the district defensive MVP in 2022, anchoring the defense. HALLETTSVILLE 2022: 7-4 overall, 2-2 in district, reached first round of playoffs It was an up-and-down 2022 campaign for the Brahmas with an impressive 4-0 start, then a lull, then a massive upset win over a red-hot Hitchcock team before a disappointing regular season finale loss to Yoakum followed by a first-round playoff exit against Franklin. There’s reason to believe Hallettsville will get a big boost on offense with seven returning starters — headlined by explosive RB Damarion Austin — plus QB Jorian Wilson, who missed most of last season with an injury. A speedy secondary is expected to be the strength of the defense, which returns five starters. YOAKUM 2022: 4-7 overall, 2-2 in district, reached first round of playoffs Last season got off to a rocky 0-3 start, including blowout losses to Cameron Yoe and Cuero, for Yoakum, and the district season started with back-to-back losses to Hitchcock and Columbus. But, the team was able to end the season with consecutive wins before dropping its bi-district playoff game in a closer rematch against Yoe. As one of the more veteran and balanced teams in the district, Yoakum is hopeful to take a significant step forward in 2023 with eight returning starters on each side of the ball. Yoakum has leaders on each level of the defense, while Del Rio transfer Zach Taylor is expected to take over the offense at QB. HEMPSTEAD 2022: 1-9 overall, 0-4 in district Last season was a rough one for the Bobcats, who actually opened with a 26-0 win over Austin Northeast Early College but lost their next nine contests with only 60 total points scored — including being out-scored by a combined tally of 172-6 in their four district games. That certainly gives Hempstead plenty of room to grow on, and improvement could come with nine offensive returning starters and seven returners on defense. The pieces are particularly in place for getting better on offense, with 2022 all-district utility player Jimmi Toliver providing a versatile weapon and QB Marlon Fisher being a capable leader.
