With one of the area’s top returning quarterbacks and an experienced offensive line, the Early Longhorns are a virtual lock to field a better product than they did in 2017.
Whether or not they can improve on their 3-7 record, however, is the question for a program that hasn’t fielded a winning team in 10 years.
Shifted to the extremely difficult District 3-3A Division I during the UIL realignment, Early isn’t the only team on the block expecting to be better than a year ago. As a result, the fact that the Longhorns have improved might get blurred by a murderous league slate.
