2¢ on Klein Collins
The Tigers come in as one of the top programs in Region II. They came out as pretty big winners in realignment; the Spring Branch schools have replaced Montgomery and the Spring ISD schools in District 15-6A.
Collins will have to replace their outstanding running back, Justin Pratt, but they'll have a solid stable of running backs to call upon, including Barba and Skrehot. Their starting quarterback is a familiar face: Bryson Powers transferred to Collins after spending two years at Cy Woods, and he's an ideal fit for that smash-mouth offense. They'll really benefit from his toughness. Newton and Owens will give Bryson a couple of threats out wide.
The defense will be led by Bucio, a sparkplug at linebacker. He'll be joined by an emerging talent in Mutin. Grayson Strawn will hold down the fort in the trenches. They'll have to replace some key pieces in the secondary; Aaron Buckley will be counted on to provide leadership.
Last Time These Two Teams Met
The Wildcats and Tigers kicked off the 2015 season at Reliant Stadium, and it was an absolute bloodbath. Klein Collins had their way all day and cruised to a 62-21 victory. Tre' Hart was one of the few bright spots on the day for Cy Woods; he caught 5 passes for 128 yards and had a 56-yard touchdown catch in the 3rd quarter.

Most of you are probably familiar with the area around the stadium and know how awful it can get. As always, it's probably best to leave early.
