BEAUMONT, Texas — The battles between West Orange-Stark and Silsbee have been interesting over the past couple of years.
While the Mustangs continued their district dominance over the Tigers, it's been Silsbee that has bounced West Orange-Stark from the playoffs the past two seasons.
Both teams will start the year ranked in the state's top ten, but it's West Orange-Stark getting the nod to win 11-4A-DII.
After the Mustangs and Tigers are Hamshire-Fannett. The Longhorns program has been moving in the right direction recently, and are ready for a breakout year.
Favored for the final spot is Orangefield, despite the Bobcats moving up in classification from 3A.
