SEASON OUTLOOK
Aledo will have a target on its back in 2011.

Toughest game: Lake Travis (Austin, Texas). Aledo traveled to Austin and snapped the Cavaliers' 48-game winning streak last season, so Lake Travis will certainly be hungry for revenge.
Question mark: How well can Aledo's secondary come together? Can Johnathan Gray stay injury-free?
Local outlook: Nearby Denton Ryan finished 15-1 last season, losing only to Lake Travis in the 4A-I finals. The Raiders return a stacked defense, led by defensive end Mario Edwards, and could figure into the national rankings picture.
Overall outlook: Offensively, Aledo will be talented, diverse and well-coached. In short, it will be extremely difficult to prepare for. If the Bearcats hold up in the defensive secondary, it will be a special season for Aledo.
Coach quote: "If we can develop a defensive secondary and replace our center, we should be stronger [than 2010.]"
