Depth should be better this season for the Plainsmen who had a balanced offensive attack last year between passing and rushing. Key returners include All District Offensive Lineman Travis Nix, All District Defensive Tackle Joe Wilborn and Corner Dillion Stone. A trio of RBs return, including Sage Floyd, Ashton Cerka, and Matt Beaden; each is looking to emerge as the primary back. Newcomer Sam Teague will get the call at QB, and newbie Travis Moore will play at WR. Another good year seems possible, but as always the schedule is tough, and newcomers must play with confidence.
