T
racy Scott says his 2019 Dragons will not start off right
where they left off in 2018 but he feels good about his
new club as long as they can stay healthy.
“We drop off after our ones pretty quickly so we
have to stay healthy,”the second year Dragon Head Coach said.
Scott credits last year’s senior class as the cement that held
the team together to finish third in District 3A-2 and make
the State Playoff for the 11th straight season.
“They had gone through three or four head coaches heading
into me,” Scott said of last year’s squad. “It took a while to jell
and get people in the right spots but we had a good year and
it was the seniors that were the glue that held us together.
7
WINS “Those kids played hard for me,” Scott said of the likes of
4 Jake Berrey, Jalyn Shea, Garrett Galyean, Gunner Fink, Tayvian
LOSSES Johnson and Victor Trejo.“They had a lot to do with our success.”
Replacing those graduating seniors will be one of the top
priorities as the Dragons work their way through fall drills.
Just like any season, remaining healthy is the number one
concern and 2019 is no different.
THE OFFENSE
Spread, One Back
“I feel good about this season,” the coach continued. “Our
depth is scary so we’ve got to get some younger kids ready
to help.”
Scott and line coach Kurt Gray will have a good nucleus with
which to begin the season with the return of last year’s starters
Gage Askew, Jaysen Shea, Malachi Parrish and Elijah Fixico.
“We’ve got to find one more guy to stand up and help us
right now,” Scott said.
Another good nucleus for the 2019 Dragons is in the
backfield with the return of last year’s breakout starter at
quarterback Kody Kroth.

Kroth will be back for his junior season after taking over the reins
against Sulphur in week five.
With Kroth at the controls Purcell’s offense picked up and the Dragons
reeled off five wins in a row to close out the 2018 season.
Senior Addison Love will anchor the running back slot but will have help
from a pair of juniors in Sam Wofford and Gavin Constant.
Purcell has a tall order in replacing their twin tower receivers Berrey
and Galyean.
“We’re going to have to figure out our receiving corps,” Scott said.
Among candidates are senior Nick Albright and juniors Constant and
Mojo Browning.
Scott said his offense had a good team camp that hopefully translates to
move the ball not only on the ground but through the air as well.
“Last year we could run when we needed to and throw when we needed
to. We have to make sure we can do that again this season,” the coach said. SPARK PLUG

there is a solid nucleus in the line.
But just like on offense, coaches are
searching for at least one more starter and
some depth to fill in the pieces of the puzzle.
Love and Wofford return at inside linebacker.
Outside linebacker is wide open but Scott is
counting heavily on the production of seniors
Kyan Davis and Rueben Leveridge.
Both safeties, Brendan Ferris and Albright
return, packing a full season of experience
with them.
Both cornerback positions are open due to
graduation.
SophomoreTitus Mason and junior Browning
are penciled in to man those slots.
“But we’ve got to have help from Gavin
Constant and Tyler Williams,”Scott said. “We’ve

and come on to help us on Friday nights.”
Among those the coaches are counting on
is Broderick Smith at linebacker and a move
in from Norman, Caden Bonham.
“Another move-in that will help us
somewhere is Morgan Ashford,” the coach
said. “We had a good team camp and have
gotten stronger in the off-season. We’ve
gotten stronger in the weight room so our
strength is up.”
The key remains staying healthy and bring-
ing younger players along.
Among those younger players Scott has his
eye on are sophomores Creed Smith, Hayden
Harp and Nate Willis.
“We’re happy they have come back out,”
the coach concluded.

After battling to a 6-6 tie at
intermission, Purcell erupted for
24 unanswered points to spoil the
opening of the new Burford Field.
“They are going to be better
this year,” Purcell Head Coach Tracy
Scott said. “The big kid they played
at quarterback last year has been
moved to receiver. He will also play
some running back.
“Their quarterback played part
time last year and should be pretty
good this year. It’ll be a tough test for
us right out of the gate,” Scott said.

Despite losing their stud lineback-

“They are always well coached
and will run the football right at
you,” Scott said.
On defense the Bulldogs will align
in the Okie 5-2 base defense.

WASHINGTON
WEEK 2 • SEPT 13 • 7 PM
2018: Washington 31 Purcell 0
Washington’s defense stymied the
Dragons while the Warrior offense
piled up the points.
The Warriors, who operate out of
the veer on offense, seem to never
rebuild but always to simply reload.
Same holds true for the 2019
campaign, according to Scott.
“They will get back a few of their
linemen but their skilled positions
will be strong,” Scott said. “They
possess good team speed and will
simply be reloading.”
When the Warriors are on defense
expect them to operate out of a 5-2.

With time running out in their end

Prevost keeper that was snuffed by
Gage Askew and Jayln Shea preserv-
ing the 18-13 Dragon victory.
“They have one really good of-
fensive lineman but other than that
I don’t know what they have in the
line,” Scott said.
“We didn’t see them in team camp
this year but losing Toby Prevost is
a big loss.
“The coaches over there do a good
job and continue to build a program,”
Scott said.

Purcell’s defense limited the Wild-
cats to negative 38 yards rushing in
the 26 point victory.
“They lost a lot of returning start-
ers,” Scott said. “Some of their key
receivers are back.
“I look for them to be better,”Scott
continued. “Coach (Joey) Ginn does
a great a job over there.
“We caught them at a great time

wanted to do last year against the
Dragons.
They return everyone including a
Division 1 receiver who is committed
to TCU and a Division 1 offensive

“They are a heck of a ball club

Cam Conner (66) and Auston McWaters (44) are back on the front seven for the
Lexington Bulldogs as they continue their success in the Dale Berglan Era.

T
he Lexington football team is looking stout this year
with lots of size on both sides of the football as well
as a horde of returning experience.
Plus, for the third year in a row under head coach
Dale Berglan, the ‘Dawgs have the exact same coaching staff.
Continuity in leadership will hopefully spell success for the
Lexington squad this season.
“Our entire coaching staff is together again,” Berglan said.
“This will be our third year as a group. That continuity is
fantastic. Kids get used to seeing us and we get used to each
other. We work really well with each other and it’s a good mix
5 5 of knowledge, ages, and personalities.”
wins losses During Berglan’s first year at the helm of the ‘Dawgs, they
went 6-4 but sadly missed the playoffs. Last year, Lexington
went 5-5 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2015.
Coalgate beat the ‘Dawgs, 57-31, in the first round.
“We’re very excited about this year,” Berglan said. “We’ve
had two really good back-to-back seasons. We have some
returning starters and we also have quite a few kids who have
been waiting in the wings for their turn to step up and shine.
We’re really excited about that.”
Lexington’s offense will be supplied by a seasoned group
of returning starters. Senior wide receivers Jaylen Cottrell
(6-foot-3, 180) and Coby Bear (5-foot-11, 150 pounds) are
hungry for success.
Seniors Nathan Clegg (5-foot-9, 150) and Josiah Dawley
(6-foot-5, 210) are primed for a breakout year as tight ends.
Senior Auston McWaters (5-foot-11, 185) brings back his
talents as a running back.
“Jaylen Cottrell is just about unmatched on the field, athleti-
cally speaking,” Berglan said.
“He has tremendous hands and breakaway speed.

When you watch him run, he’s a glider. He’s smooth and you

But, Lexington is missing Toby Prevost, who graduated last year
after running the offense at quarterback.
“Toby was by far our catalyst and the best player in our district,”
Berglan said. “He was not only a phenomenal athlete but he was
an outstanding leader.
“That was the biggest thing about him – his leadership. It

So, the 2019 season begins with seniors Colton Penner as the DAWG

Berglan said. “Who’s going to emerge as our leader? We have a Nathan Clegg returns for his

Berglan optimistic in third season
ANADARKO
WEEK 1 • SEPT 6 • 7 PM
2018: Anadarko 44 Lexington 8
The Warriors are coached by Kent
Jackson.
“Anadarko could be a catalyst for
our entire season. If we could go out
and knock off Anadarko, we would
have the chance to gain some early
momentum,” Berglan said.
“They are well-coached on both
sides of the ball. They will play sound,
fast, physical defense. Offensively,
they will spread you out and make
you defend sideline to sideline.
They’ll run power football. And, I’ve
yet to see a team run counter offense
as well as Anadarko.”
STAR SPENCER
WEEK 5 • OCT 4 • 7 PM
2018:Lexington18 StarSpencer0
Star Spencer is coached by Kenneth
West and went 2-8 a year ago.
“We have three games in Oklahoma
City with Star Spencer, Crooked Oak,
and Millwood,” Berglan said.
“Star Spencer has some really good
athletes. The toughest thing about
them is their persistent coaching
turnover.They don’t have a true system
that they run year-in and year-out.
“Itdoesn’tgiveyouanideaonhowto
defend or attack them.They have some
good athletes who can make big plays.
The key will be to control the ball and
don’t give up the big play to them.”

DIBBLE
WEEK 2 • SEPT 13 • 7 PM
2018: Lexington 4 Dibble 8
The Dibble Demons are coming off a
3-8 season.The Demons are a mystery
to the ‘Dawgs again this season.
“Dibble is a mystery,”Berglan said.
“They have a new coach again. Richard
Norman from Wynnewood is taking
over there at Dibble. He was success-
ful at Wynnewood and they made a
deep run in the playoffs a couple of
years ago.
“Dibble will have good size and
they will be very physical.They always
have a good combination of running
backs and linebackers.”
STRATFORD
WEEK 6 • OCT 11 • 7 PM
2018: Lexington 41 Stratford 27
Stratford was 5-5 last season
under head coach Michael Blackburn.
“They have a great tradition,”
Berglan said. “They’re extremely
well-coached and we had to pull
away from them at the end last year.
“They have been a power offense
in the past with a full-house backfield
running power and counter. They’ve
begun to add the spread offense
into their repertoire. So, they can
work both. They can get you caught
in the wrong personnel and calling
the wrong play.”
PURCELL
WEEK 3 • SEPT 20 • 7 PM
2018: Purcell 18 Lexington 13
Lexington and Purcell will face off
on the Dragons’ new field. Purcell,
coached by Tracy Scott, went 7-4
last season.
“We would love to be the first team
on their turf, in the Battle of the Bridge,
and be the first team to go in there
and beat them on their beautiful new
field,” said Berglan.
“Coach Scott at Purcell is a good
friend of ours and is a great coach.
They will be sound and they always
have good linemen. They play hard,
physical football. It will be a show in
a good, old-fashioned rivalry.”
MILLWOOD
WEEK 7 • OCT 17 • 7 PM
2018: Millwood 80 Lexington 21
The Falcons went 11-1 a year ago
with five Division-1 players. Under
Darwin Franklin, they came into
Lexington and blew the collars off
the ‘Dawgs.
“They are extremely well-coached
and have good athletes,”Berglan said.
“They have a reason to be confident.
They had five guys recruited and will
replace a bunch of their big-time play-
ers. Usually Millwood just reloads.They
don’t worry about grooming a bunch of
players; they just plug someone else in
there to take over an empty spot. They
will be interesting to watch.”
LITTLE AXE
WEEK 4 • SEPT 27 • 7 PM
2018: Lexington 21 Little Axe 0
Lexington beat Little Axe on the
road and in the rain last year. The Indi-
ans (coached by Matt Lane) went 4-6.
“You can’t make a lot of mistakes
against Little Axe,”Berglan said.“They
have some good starters back. They
will play good, physical football and
try to run it on us. They’ll load the box
and try to stop our running game.They
will be in the game all four quarters.
“In the past, when you could get up
on them early, they were done. But,
their coaches have done such a good
job of getting those guys to pound and
pound and pound away. ”
CCS
WEEK 8 • OCT 25 • 7 PM
2018: Lexington 36 CCS 15
Coached by Mat McIntosh, CCS lost
to the‘Dawgs, 36-15, in an important
district matchup last year.
“That was our most pivotal game
of last year,” Berglan said.
“We knew we were going to be in
a dogfight and they were one of the
hottest teams in the state. People had
a hard time defending their quarter-
back who was extremely athletic.
“We played one of our best overall
games last year against CCS.We’ll have
to do that again.”

Crooked Oak went just 1-9 in 2018.
This season they have a new coach

“They have a new coach and they

According to Berglan, Lexington

W
ith seven returning starters on offense and
nine on defense coach Brad Beller and the
Washington Warriors have their sights set on
a deep run into the Class 2A State Playoffs in
2019.
The Warriors were eliminated from last year’s playoffs
in the third round by Metro Christian when their passing
game went quiet.
The Warriors rushed for over 4,000 yards in 2018 and
passed for about 1,000.
They hope to be far more balanced this season with passing
yards compared to rushing yards.
“That’s the word from 2001 Warrior grad and head coach
Brad Beller who begins his 10th season at the helm of the
Warriors.
10 Washington was 12-3 in 2017 when they were State
wins Runners-up and 10-3 last season.
They will be working without the talents of graduated
3 Trevor Stuever, Marc Turbyfill, Nathan Ladlee, Trestin Miller,
LOSSES
Justin McKay and Tyler Beller.
But they return starters in Logan Lile, Justin Simmons and
Conner Bruce in the line, Devin Orr at quarterback, Ethan
Olson at wide receiver, Gavin Grimsey at fullback and Lance
Spaulding at running back.
Spaulding had a huge season last year rushing for 1,750
yards and over 20 touchdowns.
The offense, which will be run by Orr, back for his senior
campaign, should be efficient.
Two years ago, Washington rushed for 3,000 yards and
threw for 1,500. Then last year it was 4,000 to 1,000.
This year?
“We hope to be more balanced than last year,” Beller said.
“That’ll be the key for us not only offensively but on defense,
too. We need to be more balanced and we’ve got to stay
healthy,” the Warrior head man said.
Running the spread, the Warriors will also be capable to
run a power two-back scheme if they so desire.
“We’ve got seven guys returning as starters due to our
personnel groupings,” Beller continued. “But, once again,
we have to stay healthy.”
“In the past we really have been known primarily as a
running team,” the coach said. “Not being balanced is what
cost us against Metro Christian.”
That’s when Metro Christian stacked the box and

SEASON PREVIEW

Washington couldn’t pull them out with their
passing game.
“We’ve put a lot of time and effort in trying to
be good throwing and catching the ball better,”
Beller continued. “We’ve got to replace those
two linemen but I don’t think we will take a dip
rushing the ball.
“Devin is the key,” Beller said. “He understands
passing concepts really well. He’s fast and athletic.
Most people didn’t see him as a threat to run but
he did last year.
“He’s not the most vocal leader,”Beller said.“He’s
all about moving the ball down the field. He’s so
quiet people don’t realize how competitive he is.”
One point of emphasis this season for Beller
and his 2019 Warriors will be cutting down on
the number of costly holding penalties.
Plain and simple they had too many last year.
“We need to reduce the number of holding
penalties,” Beller said with emphasis. “We had
162 yards of offense called back in one game last
year. If we have an Achilles’ Heel that’s it and we
need to fix it.
“In that game we had three runs of over 20
yards called back. It just kills your momentum,”
he said. “It’s hard to call first and 15 and second
and 12. It doesn’t allow a team to get into a flow.
We have to get better at that.”

Number one on Beller’s to do list on defense this season will be stopping
the short passing game.
“We have to be better and more aggressive on short and intermediate passing
plays,” the coach confirmed. “Last year we gave up nine yards a reception on
third down. We were too soft in the back end. We have to be more aggressive.”

Beller said the strength of his defense this year will be the front seven.
“We’re going to be deep and good stopping the run with our defensive
ends, defensive tackles and linebackers. They are really good and there’s a
bunch of them.
“It’s going to show we play a ton of seniors but we rotated in team camp. We
rotated 27 kids mostly on defense. We rotated a ton of sophomores and juniors.”

scores.
“Little Axe is a team built around
their offense,” Beller said. “They
move the ball very well out of their
spread offense. They’re difficult to
be aggressive against. They take
advantage of teams that are quick
to the ball.”
The Indians also love to blitz when
they are on defense. They base out
of a 4-3.

PURCELL
WEEK 2 • SEPT 13 • 7 PM
2018: Washington 31 Purcell 0
In the first eight quarters of the 2017
season Washington’s stingy defense
didn’t allow a single point.
They whitewashed Purcell 31-0
utilizing a ball control offense that
averaged at least 10 plays on every
scoring drive.
“I know they made a switch at
quarterback about mid-season last
year,” Beller said. “The (Kody) Kroth kid
is a solid player. With him their offense
kicked into high gear. He can run and
throw,”Bellercontinued.“And,asalways
with coach Scott, they are well coached
especially on defense.”
MILLWOOD
WEEK 6 • OCT 11 • 7 PM
2018:Millwood22 Washington17
The Warriors got the ball with
1:16 left in the fourth period and
fell just an inch shy of winning on an
80-yard drive when Nathan Ladlee
was stopped on a questionable call.
Beller said his team, “Grew up a
lot in that game.”
It was Millwood’s 34th consecu-
tive victory.
“They are always going to be the
most athletic team we play. They
will have a few new faces from the
last couple of years but have had a
couple of nice move-ins.
MARLOW
WEEK 3 • SEPT 20 • 7 PM
2018: Marlow 13 Washington 3
The Warriors held a slim 3-0 lead
at halftime off the toe of kicker Kade
Dubois. His 42-yard field goal on the last
play of the first half was the difference.
The Outlaws scored late after hav-
ing dropped their first two games of
the season.
“They have a ton of returning start-
ers,” Beller reports. “They were really
young last year and had a good group
of sophomores and juniors.They will be
deep and physical.”
Marlow will operate out of the I
formation on offense and are multiple
on defense.
STRATFORD
WEEK 7 • OCT 17 • 7 PM
2018: Purcell 34 Bethel 8
Washington’s first team defense
held the Bulldogs to one first down
the entire first half.
Stratford will go from running a
power I formation to a two or three
back spread and then back to the
power I.
Beller thinks the Bulldogs lost
several key linemen off last year’s
squad.
“But they’ve been in the system
long enough coached by Michael
Blackburn that they won’t miss a
beat,” he said.
STAR SPENCER
WEEK 4 • SEPT 27 • 7 PM
2018: Washington 56 Star
Spencer 12
Beller swept the bench in the rout.
Washington was led defensively by
then junior Gavin Grimsey who had 10
tackles, forced a fumble, recovered a
fumble and intercepted a pass.
“They are very, very athletic,”Beller
reports. “Having another year in the
same system and with the same
coaching staff and the returning
athletes will help them.
“If they improve their offensive line
play, they could be a contender in our
district,” the coach said.
CROOKED OAK
WEEK 8 • OCT 25 • 7 PM
2018: Washington 46 Crooked
Oak 6
A running clock kept the score as
close as it was.
“They have a new coaching staff
coming in so we don’t know what to
expect,” Beller said. “They lost their
star tailback but they had a junior
high group that was pretty good
coming in. They also had one of their
better underclassmen groups they’ve
had in a while.”

“We have a lot of guys who have been working out hard
this summer,” said Wayne Head Coach Brandon Sharp, who is
entering his 12th year as top Bulldog. “We have a lot of guys
who will give us reps and will help with our depth.”
The Bulldogs will have to replace a talented group of gradu-
9 ated play makers from last year. Players like Rodney Gray and
WINS Dawson Mantooth accounted for a good portion of Wayne’s
offensive production last year, not to mention the kicking

Wayne will again base out of a 4-4 defense. Coach Sammy
Sharp will head the defensive unit for the third year and it’s a
unit the Brothers Sharp hang their hats on. Strong defenses
have been a hallmark of Sharp’s during his tenure at Wayne.
“I’m a defense guy,” Sharp said.

led by sophomore Brannon Lewelling. Lewelling won’t just be
some wide-eyed sophomore when they tee it up with Elmore

take two more linebacker spots on the outside and Conner Crawford will
be the other inside backer, alongside Lewelling.
Senior James Spencer will lead the back end of the defense for Wayne while
he mans his safety position again.
Spencer is a proven leader who the staff will lean on heavily to keep his
teammates lined up properly.
“He’s one of the best at getting guys lined up,” Sharp said. “He recognizes
formations and knows what the coaches want. We don’t have to scream like
maniacs from the sideline to get everyone into position.”
Junior Dustin Scoggins will man one side of the field at cornerback as part
of the defensive back end.
Scoggins put in work in the weight room and will see dividends from those
efforts this fall. MAESTRO
“He got a lot stronger in the offseason and got faster too.” Sharp said. “The

“Maddox will work some at the shade - his motor runs,” Sharp said.
Billy Montgomery and Ryan Redus will also get work in on the
defensive line.
Sharp said communication will be one of the keys for his defense this fall.
“The defensive line needs to do their job and eat up double teams,”he added.
“If the defensive line does its job it will allow our inside linebacker to run.”
Wayne’s offense will start with the run game.
THE OFFENSE
SHOTGUN
After being named a starter for half the season last year, Lewelling will be
the feature back from day one in 2019.
“He is a sponge and always wants to learn,” Sharp said. “He’s a pleaser and
just wants to get better.”
Ethan Mullins takes over the reins at quarterback and his upside is sky-high
for this season.
“He’s a gamer and when the lights come on he gets it on,” Sharp said. “He
has a chance to be a superstar. Since sixth grade he knows the game and is
maybe the most advanced sophomore quarterback I’ve had since Sam Martin.”
Mullins had a growth spurt this summer and reported to fall camp several

inches taller than he was last season.
He’ll have other weapons at his disposal besides Lewelling.
Spencer in the slot and Scoggins on the outside at receiver will add other
threats to the offense this year.
“This year we’ll be more wide open and dynamic,” Sharp said. Ibarra will
play both receiver and running back.
The big boys up front spent the summer getting stronger and the unit
will be formidable.
Montgomery returns at center and will be a third-year starter. Briar Norman
didn’t miss a day of summer workouts, according to Sharp, and Redus put in
work during the summer.
“Briar should have a great year,” he said.
Andy Lee came on strong for the Bulldogs last year during his freshman
season and became a starter at tackle.
“I think he’ll be a big time player for us,” Sharp said.
Lane Meyer and Austin Box will also be contributors up front.
“Lane Meyer has all the tools to be a great lineman,” Sharp said. “Austin
made big gains in the off season and will be ready to go. We need to be
physical and tenacious this season.”

Elmore City-Pernell is in their
second season under head coach
Larry Lewis. He returns a young group
of players who received significant
playing time a year ago.
“They will be big up front and have
good skilled kids to go along with the

Sharp said. “
The Badgers will operate out of the
shotgun and pistol formations.
“They will run the football at you,”

The Eagles went 4-6 last year

Sharp said. “We knew Stroud was
at the top but everyone thought
they could be one of the top four
teams last year.”
They will return a group of

“He’s been there a while and does a

tough for the District championship.”
TheWarriors will look to spread the
field and throw the football around.
“I don’t know a lot about them as
far as who is back but the offense will
revolve around their quarterback,”
Sharp said.
Apache was 7-3 last season.
WEWOKA
WEEK 6 • OCT 11 • 7 PM
2018: Wayne 48 Wewoka 12
The Tigers went 2-8 last season but
also return a young cast of players with
experience from last year.
“They have speed and talent all
over the field,” Sharp said. “They are
not always big up front but they’re fast
and get guys to the football.”
Wewoka’s returning starting quar-
terback may have transferred out of
town, which would be a big loss for
them.
But the Tigers get a shot at Wayne
on their home turf, as Wayne will
travel to Seminole County.
STRATFORD
WEEK 3 • SEPT 20 • 7 PM
2018: Stratford 27 Wayne 14
Stratford will be a challanging
non-District game for Wayne.
They are a class larger than Wayne
and return a highly talented running
back from a year ago.
“Their tailback will be one of the
best we see, if not the best we’ll see,”
Sharp said. “We’ll have to slow him
down.”
Sharp was talking about senior
running back Gus Smith and said
Stratford’s quarterback can play a
lick as well.
“Coach (Michael) Blackburn and his
staff have been doing a great job for a
while and Stratford is always tough,”
Sharp said.
WYNNEWOOD
WEEK 7 • OCT 17 • 7 PM
2018: Wayne 41Wynnewood 32
Wynnewood is breaking in a new
coach in Lucas Aslin while also reeling
from the loss of several key players
to transfer.
Aslin was previously the D coor-
dinator.
The Savages finished third in the
district with a 7-4 overall record last
season.
“They’ll be good as usual,” Sharp
said. “They continually have talent
everywhere and won’t drop off much.”
Their running back will be the
primary workhorse in the offense.
STROUD
WEEK 4 • SEPT 27 • 7 PM
2018: Stroud 44 Wayne 0
Stroud won Class A D-7 last year
with a 7-0 district record and they
return plenty of talent this season.
In their second year from dropping
down from Class 2A, they are a force.
“They’ll just reload,” Sharp said.
“You wish you had a few District
games under your belt before you
hook horns with them but it’s their
first game too.”
Stroud returns their quarterback
and a set of talented wideouts. Their
running back is a fast, homerun threat.
“Coach (Chris) Elerick has them fired
up again,” Sharp said.
LIBERTY
WEEK 8 • OCT 25 • 7 PM
2018: Wayne 61 Liberty 0
Liberty is another team that was
exceptionally young last season and
forced to play a lot of underclassmen
the majority of the season.
“They will be improved from last
year and their coach is working hard
to keep kids out for football,” Sharp
said.“They are ready to get wins under
their belts.”
Liberty finished 0-10 last season
but Sharp said his team isn’t overlook-
ing anyone.
“We can’t take anybody lightly and
we will be prepared.”
