COACH GERRY STANFORD’S
COMMENTS: “McKinney North is similar to us, offensively, and our schemes. They’ve got a big 6-6 tight end who is very talented, and they’ve got two different running back who do different things but both are very capable. They’ve got a big offensive line that averages about 270, and they’re athletic on the offensive line. Defensively, they’ve got two big linemen that everything starts around them. They’re real disciplined on the back end. They’re a very well-rounded football team, and it’s going to be a challenge.”
