Regional Outlook
There’s some interesting district combinations in Region IV and it starts in 13-4A Division II where Cuero and Gonzales who are located southwest of San Antonio will head north into a district that extends north all the way to Navasota. Cuero, who won the state title in 2018, stumbled to 3-7 a year ago with one of the state’s youngest teams, the Gobblers improved late in the year beating eventual state runner-up Wimberley and falling by just eight to regional finalist Navarro. The Gobblers return nine starters on both sides of the ball and look like the early favorite to win a tough 13-4A Division II. La Grange, with their explosive skill talent gets the edge over Giddings for second place. Giddings has young skill talent but is experienced up front on both sides of the ball. Gonzales, down from Division I is the favorite for the last playoff spot over Smithville and their talented defense.
