DE LEON — Fourth-year De Leon football coach Jacob Marwitz has taken his share of lumps while rebuilding the DHS program.
But if the rate of improvement shown by the Bearcats is any indicator, the 2024 season could produce the best team De Leon has shown in at least six years.
Marwitz’s teams have posted records of 0-10, 4-6 and 7-5 in succession since he inherited a 1-9 club in 2021. And the numbers have climbed right along with the success rate.
Times were tough for Ballinger on the football field last season.
A Murderer’s Row of non-district opponents kept the Bearcats from gaining much traction. It didn’t help that Ballinger was relatively young, either.
But throughout a winless season, coach Ty Lang saw bright spots.
HAWLEY — The word “rebuild” hasn’t been applied much to Hawley over the past decade and with good reason. Through 10 seasons, coach Mitch Ables has posted a 108-25 record (.812) with seven district championships, including a current streak of six straight.
Ables has posted all seven 10-win seasons in Hawley history (including a current streak of six straight) and has never failed to lead the Bearcats into postseason play.
Now you’re beginning to see why “rebuild” has all but left the Hawley lexicon.
HAWLEY — In the Region I-2A DI title game with Stratford last December, Hawley’s Tate “Cowboy” Scott was charging downfield on punt coverage when he landed awkwardly, tearing the ACL in his right knee — a diagnosis that threatened the remainder of his football career.
“It was right after halftime on our second drive,” recalled Scott. “I went over a kid to try to tackle someone and I just heard a bunch of pops and that was that.”
Surgery followed in January, after which he was told that he faced approximately six to eight months of rehab before being able to play again — slim timing for him to get the work done and suit up for Hawley’s season opener at Roscoe on Aug. 30.
There were no guarantees, in fact, his doctors were reluctant to release him on time — a decision they eventually reversed. And as it stands right now, “Cowboy” has been suiting up for preseason scrimmages and is expected to start for the Bearcats at Roscoe.
CISCO — There is no arguing that the last 22 years have been the most successful stretch in Cisco football history. In fact, it’s not even close.
Since 2002, the Loboes have won outright or shared 15 district championships, appeared in five state title games and won a state championship in 2013.
The biggest common denominators? Members of the coaching staff, many of whom have stayed with the program through coach Brent West’s retirement from the game in 2019.
Among the players, however, one name has been a constant somewhere in the program for the last 16 years: the name of Gayle — a family that has supplied the CHS athletic department with five brothers and a sister since 2008, a key factor in the two most dynamic decades of CHS sports the school has ever seen.
CISCO — Sooner or later, every high school football program hits a stretch when either numbers, experience or talent are in short supply.
The 2023 season saw perennial power Cisco take its turn in two of these areas when a young, shorthanded group of Loboes posted a 5-7 mark — the first losing campaign for CHS since 2010.
Last year’s struggles snapped a run of four consecutive seasons with double-digit wins for the Loboes, the last three of which were under fifth-year coach Kevin Stennett, who guided Cisco to regional title games in 2020, 2021 and 2023.
ALBANY — In an era when long-term coaching stability is becoming increasingly rare at the high school level, the Albany football program has become an exception of staggering proportions.
With head coach Denney Faith (37 years) and assistants Rod Britting (28 years), David Fairchild (21 years), Jimmy Fuentes (22 years), Ryder Peacock (13 years) and Tate Thompson (nine years) comprising the Lions’ staff, Albany has roughly 130 combined years of coaching stability among six guys.
Not only has Faith become the dean of area football coaches, but his support staff is just as firmly entrenched as he is. The net result is a family, built on trust, professionalism, ethics and hard work.
ALBANY — After winning back-to-back 2A DII state titles, the Albany Lions enter this season on a 27-game winning streak and ranked No. 2 in the state by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine.
Statewide, the expectations are for the Lions to make a deep playoff run and possibly get to Arlington for a third straight year.
But will the numbers — and the loss of all-state running back Adam Hill — allow them to get there?
HASKELL — Entering his fourth season at the helm of Haskell’s football program, Mitch McLemore has a chat about the progress of his program, his past and the direction he sees the game taking in this brief preseason Q&A with Evan Ren.
Q: Coach, thanks for joining us, we appreciate your time. First off, before you got your first head coaching job at Junction, tell us about your time spent as an assistant with coach Wayne Hutchinson at Stamford and what that meant to you.
A: We were at Knox City before that and had a great five years there and then Stanford became available. We prayed about it and moved and had a great eight years there. But you know, God does what he got does and that was all part of that Junction move. I really wasn’t looking was happy anyway so here we are today many years later and he and I are still like brothers from another mother. To me he’s a great football coach and great man with a great family and our families are very close.”
HASKELL — Every now and then, hunger can overcome a lack of experience.
And in Haskell, where a youthful group of sophomores and juniors will lead the HHS football team in 2024, that is precisely what coach Mitch McLemore is counting on.
“We’re only going to have about five or six seniors,” said McLemore, who has guided the Indians to three straight playoff berths since his arrival at HHS. “But our strength will be that our kids want to play and they want to get better every week.
“We’ve got a group that has been (in the system) for three years, so a lot of stuff is already (understood) and we’ll just have to tweak a few things. So they’re hungry and they’re excited.”

OTHER 2024 ALL-BIG COUNTRY PREPS TEAMS
Our All-Big Country Preps Softball and Baseball Teams, released Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, are in place to honor those who achieved the most on-field success in 2024. It is off the field, however, where character, grit, and work ethic are often measured. And it is with our Big Country Preps All-Hustle Team that we wish to honor those players, male and female, who were (simply put) the hardest-working, best teammates in the area this spring.
This team isn’t about who the best baseball and softball players were.
The All-Hustle team honors effort, discipline, toughness, coachability and selflessness — traits that coaches wish they had in every player and upon which championships are built.
It is for that reason that this team is largely selected by area coaches and described in their own words.
Big Country Preps is now honored to present these individuals to you — the best team players (boys and girls) that the the Big Country had to offer during the 2024 season.
The players below are listed in no particular order.
