This 25-6A Austin Area district is rich with talent. Vandegrift starts the season out as favorites to win after last year’s State Finals appearance, but Round Rock has proven over the past few years they are real contenders especially after winning this year’s 7 on 7 State tournament. Manor will try to reload after losing a plethora of talent like RB Joyner, but coach James Keller knows how keep his teams rolling.

Westwood- RB Demani Stewart (5’10” 204, 4.4 40) LB/TE Carius Coy (6’3” 220, 4.9)

Sleeper Team: Manor- After losing a talented squad full of DI talent last year, the mustangs look to rebuild around as few key players on defense like Prosser, and Cofield. Coach Keller always seems to produce with the hand he is given and with many young athletes looking to prove themselves this year, I believe Manor still has a strong chance to prove themselves after losing a talented group of athletes.
