2009 East Texas Dream Team
It’s never too early to talk football in East Texas, and the sports staffs at the Longview News-Journal and Tyler Morning Telegraph did just that today.
The two newspapers gathered at the Longview News-Journal to select the second East Texas Dream Team, a collection of the top players from the combined coverage areas of the two publications (north to Texarkana, south to Lufkin, East to Waskom and West to Brownsboro).
We selected a preseason player of the year on offense and defense, top quarterback, three runningbacks, three receivers, a tight end, five offensive linemen, four defensive linemen, four linebackers, four defensive backs, a utility player, kicker, punter and return specialists.
No blood was shed, but there was plenty of heated discussion at nearly every position.
The team will be released on Sunday, Aug. 3.
Between now and then, I would love to hear your thoughts on the top players in East Texas.
