Football Season Preview

With a new school year approaching, the Hawk varsity football team looks forward to a new season. Last season, the Hawks had an unbelievable run which ended with a tragic loss in the SPC 3A championship. This year the Hawks look forward to “redeeming themselves” and completing their ultimate goal: winning the championship. When asked about the team for next year, Coach Burk stated that he is very excited about the talent on the roster. He thinks that the most interesting development will occur “in the trenches” (the offensive and defensive lines). With only one returning starter on the line (Ben Fitzgerald, ‘18), Hawk Nation looks for a number of young men to step up and take these important roles. Both Coach Burk and Coach Bruce agree that the linemen development will be interesting. Both coaches admit that these new linemen are very capable of the major roles. Offensively, Max Schieferdecker (‘18) looks to tear defenses up through the air, and Harry Crutcher (‘19) will cause trouble with the running game. Linebackers Chris Odom (‘18)and Sid Reggie (‘18) will lead the defense alongside fellow senior Mike Garnett (‘18).
