A lot of what was expected didn't turn out so, and other teams came from nowhere as pleasant surprises.</p><p> Wylie and Sachse shared the district crown but have quite a drop in returning starters this year, paving the way for the other two playoff teams - Naaman Forest and Lakeview Centennial - to make a push to the top of standings. Naaman Forest returns 18 starters on offense while Centennial is looking at 11. </p><p>Camar Wheaton is the big offensive name, who bust onto the scene as a 5-star freshman. More big numbers are expected from him and he could lead Lakeview Centennial to a district title.<br></p><h5>Projected 2020 Playoff Teams:</h5><p>Naaman Forest<br>Lakeview Centennial<br>Sachse<br>Rowlett<br></p>Previewing 10-6A

Everything else remains the same for a district that was a 2-horse race between Rockwall and Longview. And it looks to be another 2-horse race, this time between Rockwall and Skyline.</p><p>Both teams enter the 2020 having gone 6-1 last year in district play and return plenty of talent to contend again. This includes Rockwall quarterback Braedyn Locke, who came out of nowhere to put up gaudy numbers. Coach Roddy Webb (move to Denton Guyer) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (graduated) are gone but there are still plenty of options at Locke's disposal.<br></p><p>Third and fourth place seem to be a 3-way race between Tyler Legacy, Mesquite and Rockwall-Heath.<br></p><h5>Projected 2020 Playoff Teams:</h5><p>Rockwall<br>Skyline<br>Mesquite<br>Rockwall-Heath<br></p>Previewing 11-6A

Throw in Waco Midway, and it would seem this district's playoff representatives are already a lock.</p><p>Duncanville is vying for a third shot at a state title, and according to some prognosticators, it's very possible it is back again. The defense is salty once again, but the big key is going to be quarterback. It transferred out a stud freshman but transferred in a former dual-threat TAPPS QB.</p><p>Cedar Hill will look to shake off the terrible loss it suffered in the playoffs, giving up a 27-7 halftime lead as Guyer made an improbable comeback.<br> </p><h5>Projected 2020 Playoff Teams:</h5><p>Duncanville<br>Cedar Hill<br>DeSoto<br>Waco<br></p>
