2023 High School Football Preview: 8-5A Division 2 Showdowns & Star Players!

The 2023 high school football season in the 85 Division 2 is set for exhilarating competition. Last year, the division saw intense competition with five teams vying for four playoff spots. With Port Neches, Clarksville, Montgomery, and Linde progressing, expectations this season are high.

Defending champions PNG, bolstered by QB Connor Bailey, aim to maintain their dominance, while new coaching in Huntsville could shake up the district. Montgomery is banking on its strong defensive lineup to secure a return to the postseason, and teams like Dayton and West Fork are looking to improve significantly under experienced coaching. Stay tuned to see if Lake Creek can redeem a disappointing last season with their robust offensive line.
