School colors: Purple, gold

Stadium address: Yellowjacket Drive, FM 1745, Chester, TX 75936

2021 record: 3-6

Notes: Chester will have plenty of experience as a lot of the kids we have returning received major minutes throughout the season. The Yellowjackets return a total 16 players total. The incoming freshman class dominated competition in JH and are very athletic kids. The biggest concern Chester will have is the young team overall. Out of the 24 players, 18 will be either Freshman or Sophomore. The youth could be a cause of early season struggles as they get used to playing kids that are 3 or 4 years older than them. Rick Carlton was the district newcomer of the year last season, playing QB and CB with 64 tackles, 15 TFLS and 8 INT on defense last year. Keighen Green is a returning all-sidtrict defensive end and a bruising runner that brings a different style to 6-man. He is a man amongst boys on the football field and had 960 yds rushing last year in split duties. Senior Kessler Romo is a utility player that made All District offense and Defense after coming back from an early season injury.
