Campbell, Black earn Waco Trib honors

The Waco Tribune-Herald released its annual football section with today's paper, and both Westwood's Dustin Campbell and Palestine's Jermaine Black earned nods as a top performer 20-AAA.
The Trib named Campbell the district's top  lineman, while Black was named top defensive player.
The paper also picked the district and has newcomer Mexia edging out the Wildcats for the district title. But, the writer admits a desire by the PHS-faithful for redemtion following last year's playoff loss to Mexia.
Westwood is slated to finish fourth, one spot out of the playoffs behind Madisonville.
In 11-AA, the Elks were picked to finish last, with Crockett, Malakoff and Teague slated to make the playoffs.
In 8-A, D-I--a district the Trib calls "arguably the best" in all of 1A--defending state champion Cayuga is picked to finish third behind Mart and Kerens. The Wildcats Coleman Shafer earned the title of best lineman for the district.
