Last year, the Diamond Dogs made it to the semifinals, but fell to the Sweeny Bulldogs. Their returning players this season include Chase Hampton, Braydon Johnson, Jayce Mcfarland, Donovan Adkins, and Cade Pippen.

They achieved a new single-season win total going 32-8. Expectations for this coming season are set high for the Diamond Dogs.
“We definitely have a chance at something great,” senior Jayce McFarland said.
