2020 REVIEW
Despite having to navigate the challenges of COVID-19, 2020 was a great and memorable season as the team made a run all the way to the State.
2021 PREVIEW
We’re excited to get back on the field in 2021. Although we’re losing several key players that had a huge impact, we also return a good core of guys. The group, over the last two seasons, has been to two state semi-finals and played for a state championship. They know what it takes to be successful. They know what we run on offense and defense. That experience and desire to carry on the tradition of the program will be vital to our success. The 2021 team will have their own identity as they continue on the story for the Rams in the future! It’s their time to be in the spotlight.
As long as these first-time starters learn quickly and fill those roles, we fully expect to compete for another district title and to have another successful playoff run.
TOP OFFENSE
The leader on offense will be sophomore quarterback, Ethan Lucas. He held his own as a freshman completing 64% of his passes for 1030 yards and 23 touchdowns. He’ll still have weapons to work with a pair of offensive all-state players returning in seniors Luke Meadows (1st Team All-State TE) and Jihu Lee (Honorable Mention All-State). Meadows will lead the offensive line. While Lee will be a big-time WR threat with junior Kyle DuPont as well. Watch for Sophomore Aidan Field to have a breakout year at running back.
TOP DEFENSE
Without a doubt Senior, Luke Meadows. He has been a three-year starter in the program. His presence on the defensive line can be described as dominant. We expect him to make plenty of plays. Senior Jihu Lee came on late last season as a starter. He’ll patrol from the free safety position. Also juniors Kyle DuPont and Aidan Field. Kyle has started two years. He knows what to do defensively. Field has made plays with spot playing time as a freshman and sophomore. He’s ready to step into the role of starting middle linebacker.
