High school football! Take your pick

[Friscofootballfan]

The season will be here before you know it! Who do you guys think will take the district championship this season?

My pick- I'm going with centennial this year. Although they may have lost some key players expect them to come back and defend their championship. Considering that they also have 4 d1 players they should be a tough beat.

Key players - Lamar Jordan , Kevin Smith, Ranthony Texada , and Broderick Jenkins

Just saw Dave Campbell's 2012 Texas Football report and they have Prosper winning district. Heard Prosper has new QB transfer in, a Texas Tech commit.

1. Prosper
2. Centennial
3. Wakeland
4. Frisco
5. Liberty
6. Little Elm
7. Heritage
8. The Colony

A great rematch from last year's playoffs. Should be a great opening weekend for high school football in our area with Allen taking on Southlake Carroll Friday night at their new stadium.

I don't see anyone in the District getting past Prosper this year, I think Little Elm may also surprise some folks.

You do not need to be a fan of the stadium to be a fan of the football program.

According to Ranthony's dad, he is set to announce his college pick on Monday at Centennial. No other info was given (time etc). He has it narrowed to 6 schools.

Let me start off with - I am not a fan of the new stadium.

However, school funding in Texas is completely messed up. Let me explain. There are two funding pots Operational and Capital. Teachers salaries comes out of Operational and Capital goes to buildings, etc. The stadium is funded out of the Capital pool of money. HOWEVER, any fees Allen gets for rental during playoff games, graduations, concerts, ESPN games, etc. goes into the OPERATIONAL pool. So although the stadium is being paid for from the capital funds it actually ADDS to the amount of money to be used to pay teachers, add academic programs, etc. It does not go back into the football program which is self funded.

In my eyes a dollar is a dollar, however, the state has set up this funding game - you either play the game or the game plays you.
