2020 REVIEW

Last season had a lot of injuries, so the team had inexperience in so many positions but watching our underclassmen continue to improve throughout the season, seeing our seniors take leadership roles and mentor the younger guys was really the highlight of the season.

2021 PREVIEW

We bring back a lot of kids. I expect us to be an improved football team based on the experience that we bring back, as always we will need to stay healthy. Our schedule is very demanding and we hope this will help prepare us to be in the battle for a district championship.

TOP OFFENSE

We will have good depth at the running back positions- we should have the ability to keep these kids fresh, seniors BJ Kelly and James Bodine will lead what should be a good offensive line. Paxton Hancock was district offensive new comer of the year as a freshman and is coming back bigger and faster after missing most of last season with injury.

TOP DEFENSE

Paxton Hancock will return after missing half of last season with injury along with Angel Villarreal at linebacker positions.
