As a coach trying to replace Bodner, Dawson ,Gorley and several role players individually would drive you crazy. Bodner the Heart and Soul of your team, both ways, Dawson Mr. consistency and 4A player of the year at QB with Gorley a mountain man on both offense and defense, you don't know where to begin. Then collectively you consider an extra years experience on a wealth of returning lettermen, the added strength and growth another year ads to your returnees and the experience they had going thru , not only a challenging season but one of the toughest playoff series that you ever expect to face. So no, you don't replace those tremendous athletes individually, but as a team collectively you try to improve as a whole, which coach Haddix and his staff have already shown they are quite capable of. I do think this is a good problem to have as a Rebel coach no matter how challenging it is. I am just thankful that we have Coach Haddix and his staff here at Boyle giving the direction and leadership that has provided the delightful season or I might say championship seasons that we all have enjoyed so much and take so much pride in. Even though we will miss these graduating senior so much, I know in 2024 we will very exited to see the next group of Rebels that Coach Haddix and his staff assemble to challenge for another title
