Outlook: Hutto will be more experienced this season, and newcomer Andre Thorn at QB has coach Lee Penland very excited. The team is moving up to 4A and is hoping that the addition of adding new sports will help the athletic department as a whole. RB Devin Carver will see lots of carries running as much as possible behind Cory Taylor.
