Amarillo Golden Sandies
DISTRICT 2-5A

by Christopher Lyke
Texas HS Football Chief Editor

Amarillo will be relying heavily on the arms and legs of Blaine Vaughan and Tyler Britton on the offensive side of the ball. Depending on how the much the rest of the district improves will tell the story of the fate of the Sandies. They don't have a lot of size to go around but should utilize their speed to compete for a playoff spot.
