The 2026 Texas high school football season is approaching, with final scrimmages set to take place. Previews of each district are underway, including District 16-5A DII. The Patriots, led by third-year quarterback Roman Reyna, are looking to repeat as district champions after a successful run last season.

They will face competition from several schools, including two from Sharyland ISD and a physical Roma team. A district prediction ranks the teams, with Mission Veterans predicted to take the top spot, followed by Sharyland High and Sharyland Pioneer.

Further details on the district preview and preseason awards are available, including the selection of Roman Reyna as Offensive Player of the Year.
