Replacing Jordy Brewer will be Key!!! He was the leader of this years team. This is really the first time we have to replace a leader like this, in the past it's been a couple of Seniors leading but seems like Jordy really filled that role this year.

Jake Middleton is an outstanding back, but we will miss having a two headed monster someone could break out we have some promising young players. I look for Chitwood to be the other back along with Devin Daniels getting some time.

I'm guessing Tucker Lewis will be a ? at Full Back, so I see Chorak and possibly Fred Massey at FB.

QB will most likely be Jenkins, with Caldwell waiting in the wings. But if they both struggle look for Larkey to take a page out of Joker Phillips play book and play a Senior WR at QB (Austin Maggard)!!!!

Coach has done a great job replacing key players, Nathaniel Gilliam left we had TJ Green, Dylon Smith, & McMillan. Dylon left we had Jake Middleton, McMillian leaves.....we'll see.

The defense will be better, don't forget the Black Bears lost a lot of defense the year before last.

Replacing Michael Smith will be a task, when he wanted to he could block anyone!

I believe the Black Bears will be okay and leave it to the players who wins the district.
