2014 record: 9-2
Coach: Andy Todd

Coach: Rudy Powe
Notable: The Longhorns showed improvement, but fell just short of the playoffs after three straight losses in late October. … Dual-threat QB Jackson Fults returns after leading White in rushing and passing last year. … The Longhorns will look to close the gap on the four teams ahead of them in 9-6A, who beat White by an average margin of 30.7 points in 2014.
