With 16 returning starters, Shiloh will be a heavy favorite to win a 3-Peat State Championship next season. All-American quarterback Kiehl Frazier will be the face of the 2010 Saints, he amassed over 4,500 yards and 62 touchdowns in his junior campaign. The 6'3 signal caller hold 11 Division 1 offers, including Auburn, Arkansas, Miami (FL), Oklahoma State, and his most recent Nebraska.

Trinity won the 2009 Class 5A State Championship in an overtime thriller over Austin Westlake, their third title in the last 5 years (05,07), and finished #20 in America by USA Today. The trojans return many starters off of that team, and are projected by most to be the #1 team in all of Texas again to start the 2010 season. Of the host of returning starters, defender Ilain Moeakiola leads the way. Moeakiola was named the 2009 Dallas Morning News Newcomer of the year. Star running back Tevin Williams and standout wide receiver also return, both are receiving Divison 1 college attention. "We wanted to put together a great schedule and play top competition. It doesn't get much tougher or better than the Texas 5A State Champion, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity." Shiloh Christian Head Coach Josh Floyd said.
