Huntsville Football

District 10-5A, Division II, may be one of the more overlooked districts in the state. With Huntsville, A&M Consolidated and Montgomery, as well as risers Bryan Rudder and Lake Creek, there are some powerful teams with game-changing talent.

Huntsville has emerged as one of the more underappreciated teams lately, despite handling its business year in and year out.

But the Hornets will not cakewalk to the district title, as this district has the parity to make things interesting when playoff spots are to be determined.

Huntsville Hornets

Huntsville enters the season ranked as one of the top teams in Class 5A in the state. The Hornets return 10 starters from an 11-1 Regional Semifinalist. Eight of those starters are on offense, which is interesting since only two return on a defense Huntsville has become renown for.

The offense has plenty of punch, led by senior 6-foot-3, 180-pound QB A.J. Wilson (1,639 passing yards, 14 TDs-7 INTs), senior RB Jaylon McClain (1,122 yards, 12 TDs) and senior WRs Justin Butcher (149 yards, TD) and Carnellius Lawrence (146 yards, 24.3 yards per catch, TD). That's a pretty potent quartet.

Defensively, the Hornets, who allowed just 11.4 points per game last year, are a work in progress. Senior 6-foot, 230-pound LB Calvin Simmons (84 tackles, 6 sacks, 2 fumbles caused, 2 fumble recoveries) is a monster playmaker, but other promising youngsters, like junior 6-foot-1, 180-pound DB Arthur Sandles, will have to step up in support.

Montgomery Bears

The Bears bring back eight starters from an 8-4 Area finalist. They have sure-fire talent on both sides of the ball, but overall inexperience will be an obstacle early on.

Offensively, senior 6-foot-2, 200-pound QB Brock Bolfing (2,504 yards, 23 TDs-8 INTs) and senior RB Jalen Washington (1,499 yards, 7.8 yards per carry, 18 TDs) provide much of the firepower. They are quite the dominant 1-2 punch. Question marks linger on the offensive line and at receiver.

Defensively, senior 5-foot-10, 220-pound LB Leslie Williams (137 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 2 fumble recoveries) and senior 5-foot-10, 225-pound DL Zach Cooper (88 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, INT) fill up the stat sheet with ease.

Senior kicker Nick de las Alas is money from anywhere inside of 40 yards, and coach John Bolfing may have to rely on him more than he'd like.

A&M Consolidated Tigers

The Tigers return 11 starters from an 8-3 Bi-District finalist. Senior Brodie Daniel, primarily a receiver last year, was the backup QB and looks to contend for the starting spot. He will have weapons around him in dynamic sophomore RB Keshun Thomas (505 yards, 6 TDs in 5 games) and senior two-way playmaker Dre'Kavian Minor. The offensive line has continuity back in 6-foot-1, 270-pounder Barton Melder and 6-foot-4, 270-pounder Joey Lightfoot. Defensively, the Tigers are led by 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior DE Jaden Thomas (76 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, fumble recoveries) and 6-foot-2, 210-pound LB Tyndall McNamara (64 tackles, 6 tackles for loss), providing an impenetrable core for any ballcarrier.

Bryan Rudder Rangers

Optimism in Ranger Land is sky-high, as Rudder returns 15 starters (seven offensively, eight defensively) from a 6-4 team. It was only the second winning season for Rudder in its 13-year varsity history.

The Rangers have what it takes to make their first playoff appearance. Three-year letterman senior QB E.J. Ezar (2,551 yards, 23 TDs-12 INTs; 700 rushing yards, 10 TDs) runs the offense as an explosive dual-threat talent. His top targets are junior RB Montavian Reed (148 yards, 2 TDs), senior 5-foot-11, 185-pound WR Marcus Heard (94 yards, 23.5 yards per catch) and junior WR Michael Lister (99 yards, 8.3 yards per catch).

Rudder's defense has the potential to be one of the more dominant units, largely because of a gifted defensive backfield led by Heard (53 tackles, 3 INTs, 2 sacks) and 6-foot, 185-pound senior Tre McClenton (50 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 7 sacks).

Lake Creek Lions

In its third year of varsity play, Lake Creek made history with its first playoff appearance in 2020. Now the Lions are hungry for that first postseason win. It'll be tough, though, as 31 lettermen graduated. Ten starters return from a 6-5 Bi-District playoff finalist, with six of those starters coming on defense.

Offensively, senior 5-foot-9, 175-pound RB Justin Freeney is the catalyst as a game-breaking dynamo, rushing for more than 1,000 yards last season. Junior 6-foot-3, 195-pound QB Cade Tessier has the physical tools for the part.

The defense has a strong front seven, thanks to the talents of senior 6-foot-3, 200-pound DL Cole Kilgore and LBs Nic Colosimo (6-2, 190) and senior 5-foot-11, 175-pounder Cade Rochinski.

Fulshear Chargers

After winning eight total games in its first three years of varsity play, Fulshear has a new head coach in Nick Codutti, formerly the offensive coordinator at Tomball High. Codutti brings energy and a passion for the spread offense.

He'll have a lot to work with as 18 starters return from a 5-5 team. Junior 5-foot-11, 170-pound QB Parker Williams, junior 6-foot-3, 185-pound WR Jax Medica, senior 6-foot-1, 195-pound WR Tyjae Williams and junior fullback Seth Smith are key returners on offense.

The defense is led by senior 6-foot-4, 195-pound FS Cade Carter, junior MLB Germany Williams, senior OLB Luke Guzzetta, senior SS Luke McCurdy and junior CB Kenya Walton Jr. Codutti is impressed with newcomer talent in junior DL William Okeke, senior DL Anthony Okeke, sophomore ATH Davion Godley, sophomore WR Tate Struble and sophomore DB Koy Tollefson.

Fulshear has several three-year starters, and Codutti is encouraged that a lot of his skill-position guys played a lot of meaningful snaps over the last few seasons. Inexperience on the offensive and defensive lines are concerns, though depth is not.

Lamar Consolidated Mustangs

The Mustangs return 13 starters from an 0-10 team as coach Kiah Johnson fell on hard times in his head coaching debut.

But Lamar Consolidated boasts intriguing talent, beginning with senior WR Rayshawn Glover (665 yards, 6 TDs) and senior 6-foot-4, 190-pound QB Dylan Garrett (1,942 yards, 18 TDs). They could be one of the more electric duos in the district.

Garrett, in particular, is an impressive presence in the pocket. Senior 5-foot-11, 205-pound LB Tayvian Guidry and junior 5-foot-10, 273-pound DL Jadin Nelson anchor a defense that figures to be stronger with a year of experience in Johnson's 4-2-5 alignment. The offensive line and secondary are concerns for Johnson.

  

Lake Creek's Cole Kilgore, Cullen Lenamon, Cade Rochinski, Luke Ryan, Sam Lee and Justin Freeney
