Hulme is trying to duplicate a 13 win season he accomplished at Fort Bend Clements last year. All-everything RB Stepfan Taylor is back after sprinting for 26 scores and more than 1,600 yards last year. Daniel Green is the likely starter at QB and should be in a situation marked for success with defenses keying on Taylor. Logan Hodges and Jacob Crabtree are top targets in the air assault. On defense, LB Winston Dossman is a key in the middle, and Femi Awe will lead the front four. A good roster and good new coach should mean a good year.
