South Oak Cliff won't have much time to settle into the season. The Golden Bears open with an immediate rematch against Richmond Randle, the same team they defeated for last year's state championship. Randle returns record-setting running back Landen Williams-Callis, making it one of the best opening-week matchups in Texas. Two weeks later comes another major test. South Oak Cliff faces North Shore (Season Preview) at the Cotton Bowl as part of the inaugural Roland Parrish Classic. The Golden Bears beat North Shore 41-31 last season, and another win would strengthen an already impressive résumé before district play begins. District play opens against Hillcrest before games against Wilson, Molina, Seagoville, Poteet, Adamson, Jefferson and Samuell. South Oak Cliff should once again be the favorite in District 5-5A Division II, but the first two games will provide an early indication of where the Golden Bears stand.
