The new and improved Matt Preston

Watching Wylie's 37-14 victory over Vernon on Friday, there were several things jumped out at me. But the thing that impressed me most was how much more comfortable Matt Preston looked under center this season.

That's not to downplay what Preston did last year, because I thought he did a good job in his first year as the team's starter. But he made some plays in the first start of his senior year that I'm not sure he had the confidence to make a year ago. In one half of football, Preston hit on 14 of 17 passes for 163 yards and two TDs and he added a nice 29-yard option keeper in the the second half to cap a fantastic 2009 debut.  

Sure, he has quite a few weapons to work with this year, and a brand new offensive line deserves a lot of credit for holding up as well it did against Vernon. But if this is what Wylie fans can expect the rest of the season out of their QB, they could be in for quite a treat this season.
