Notes:
Ganado will battle Shiner for the 27-1A distric title this year. They would love to buid their program back up to where it was in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. They were able to get 9+ wins 8 of 9 years (1995-2003) and they had 8 wins in the year they did not have at least 9. They will have one of 1A’s best offensive backfields with Foster and Smith. The Indians have a very good shot at meeting up with Cayuga once again in the semifinals.
History:
Was 4-16 in 2A in previous 2 years before dropping to 1A in 2008
Made the state semifinals for the 3rd time in school history in 2008
