The Crusaders: Park Place won four games in its first season of 11-man football after two years in the 8-man ranks. The Crusaders are still building a program, but look to take the next step this season.

Quotable: “I don’t know the spread. I’m more comfortable teaching what I know. And it’s (triple option) difficult to defend if it’s run correctly.”

— Tallulah coach Frank Lloyd
