Offseason Update - It's A Big One

I have been so busy lately and I'm trying to catch up here.  A few things have been happening around La Porte with recruiting of our players by major colleges.

I'll start with RivalsHigh final rankings from the 2011 season.  La Porte ended the season ranked 89th in the nation.  One of the best seasons in La Porte history.  http://highschool.rivals.com/viewrankhs.asp?ra_key=819

On recruiting I'll start with the class of 2012.  Cameron Whilley looks to be a candidate to walk on at Texas State and I'm sure he will turn some heads over there.  Chris Hickey signed on at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas.  Aaron Nance-Garrett as previously published signed with Ouachita in Arkansas.  Of course starting QB Josh Vidales had already signed with the University of Houston for baseball.  If I'm missing anyone let me know.

The class of 2013 has some good prospects with Maurice Morris, Corey Lee and Alex Jones participating in the recent Nike Camp in Dallas.  Keith Whitely is showing up on many RB watch lists. I expect we will see a lot more scouts around town next season with the upcoming 2013 and 2014 classes and their star power.

The class of 2014 is making some news with Hoza Scott receiving Rivals #1 prospect spot in Texas.  OL Michael Leagan also made the list at #89 and he's been touring the country to different schools including Florida State and South Carolina.  I was a little disappointed we did not see the likes of Trevor Nelson, Victor Holmes and Jonathan Lewis on the list as well, but they will have plenty of time to impress the scouts.

Oh, here is the 2012 Schedule!  Looks like the bye week comes at the perfect time!  Clear Springs is a nice preseason challenge.  There are 8 playoff teams from last year on La Porte's schedule if you count the scrimmage with Pearland Dawson.
