Mansfield Preview of Champions (Sep. 27 2025)

[SaltySynth]

Hey, I know this is about 6 months out and the band list isn't posted yet but I thought I might as well start this form so people can go ahead and talk about some of the bands from last year. I will post the band list as soon as I see if but please help me out if you find it first. In the mean time I'll send the list from last year since there shouldn't be to many changes in bands.

 

 

THIS IS 2024!!!!! DON'T BECOME ATTACHED TO THIS SCHEDULE!!!!

Is it Walnut Grove's first time at Mansfield? I don't recognize the name and I don't see it on last years schedule. How are they as a band?

They're a really great up and coming band from Propser ISD. I don't believe they've come here before but they should be really good to watch.

Cause they had a fantastic season and I doubt they’ll get worse. They were over some strong 6A at boa prosper but yesh I’m thinking they’ll take this
