Sure, Coppell only reached the area round of the playoffsbrlast season. But remember, the Cowboys were ranked in the top 10 in Class 5A inbrfell in a heartbreaker to DeSoto — the Eagles went on to reach the statebrsemifinals where they bowed out valiantly to eventual state champion Allen. Sobreven though Euless Trinity and Southlake Carroll are regarded as the districtbrfavorites, don't count out Coppell. The Cowboys return numerous key starters onbrboth sides of the ball. Offensively, Coppell is bringing back electrifyingbrrunning back Charles West, who rushed 1,193 yards and 15 touchdowns lastbrseason. Fellow first-team all-district pick Skyler Bonneau is back under centerbrafter excelling in his first year as Coppell's starting quarterback. Bonneau'sbrprimary targets will be a pair of second team all-district selections in widebrreceiver Josh Fink and tight end Connor Williams. Look for defensive end ChrisbrBiggurs and linebacker Bo Anderson to rack up tackles in Coppell's 3-4brdefensive scheme — both are highly touted recruits. Defensive back JacobbrMurray, a Northwestern commit who recorded 55 tackles, nine pass break ups andbrone interception in 2013, will hold down the fort in the secondary along withbrsecond team all-district pick Bryce Vonzurmehlen.
