No. 9: Edcouch-Elsa
District: 32-5A
2013 record: 9-2, Class 4A DII Bi-District Finalist
Top returners: OL Gabriel Armendariz, WR Chon Hernandez, DT Ray Dinnall-Guerra, DT Gabriel Rodriguez, DE Alex Garza
Of note: Edcouch-Elsa returns just five starters and has uncertainty at quarterback. But there is a load of young, physical talent still in the stable, and the Yellow Jackets boast depth all around. The defense will be there, and if the offense grows up fast, look out.
