District 16-AA

Teams: Carver (3A), Oakhaven (3A), Washington (3A); Fairley (4A), Hillcrest (4A), Sheffield (4A)

Outlook: Though it lost several key offensive playmakers to graduation, Fairley returns plenty from last season’s 9-3 squad, including four starters on the offensive line, senior running back Derrick Murrell and senior wide receivers Fred Garrett and Antoine Walker. Like the Bulldogs, Sheffield has some quality talent as well, starting with senior quarterback Denzell Wilson. Washington’s offensive line alone makes it the favorite among this district’s 3A teams. The Warriors return all five starters from 2008, including senior tackle Dominic Haywood.
