“Our goal is to win league, first and foremost,” he said. “It’s a possibility to go undefeated in the regular season, host a playoff game or two. This season should be a good one for us. We’ve talked about it all season. We’ve had 20 kids or more at Strength Lab since January, following Clinton-Massie’s footsteps, looking to train at a different level.“We’re going to take it one game at a time. If we fall short early in the season, we can still meet our goals. I’m confident whatever happens in the regular season we can make the playoffs.”
“We now have a core of seniors that realize they have to step up and lead this younger group of skilled kids,” said McSurley. “When it comes to leadership, their football IQ is pretty high.”
“This year is the best group of linemen we’ve every had … and I’m not just saying that,” said McSurley, who in 25 seasons as the Massie head coach has s 250-64 record. “We have a strong nucleus of offensive and defensive linemen.”Askedif he’d rather have experienced ball-handlers and an inexperienced line, or the other way around, McSurley was quick to provide his answer.
“This way,” said McSurley, a former high school and college lineman. “There’s a lot of humility on this team. Our ‘dudes’ are up front. You’d like to have experience everywhere, but it’s real nice to have it up front.”
Owen Trick, Joey Kocher, Isaiah McCoy, Adam Frisch, Tyler Tolson and Brighton Rodman are in the trenches on offense, helping to pave the way as Keegan Lamb takes over the quarterback duties from long-time signal-caller Kody Zantene.Thedefensive line will be made up of Brandon Updike, Elijah Groh, Leyton Bell, Brodie Green.

McSurley said there is talent joining Lamb in the offensive backfield but “we have to keep guys available. We’re not deep in the skilled areas. We can run the ball. We can move the ball. We have the talent to score. We just have a young team and can they sustain that through 16 games? That’s a challenge but it’s like that for everybody. It’s hard to do in Division IV.”
While Williamsburg is the team to beat in the National Division, Mulvihill said, by that point in the season each game will be a challenge. Mulvihill said the BHS non-conference schedule is strong with Paint Valley and Waynesville again providing early season opposition.

Comberger.“Iloveworking with this group of girls,” Cooper said. “They are extremely coach able and they work hard. “Only one player (Sharma at 17-8) had a winning record last year. All of the rest of the returning players have to develop a winning attitude this season. Last year as freshmen they were thrown into the deep water, and learned a lot. This season they have to learn to win.”
“I can not say enough about our returning underclass men,” Kirby said. “They have known what it is like to have a losing season and they have know what it is like to start winning and they are ready to win more this year. All of them have been putting in the work in the off-season to improve and it shows on the court.”Kirby likes the sophomore class, saying it “has always shown a great deal of matu rity and leadership on the court. They love the game and take it seriously. Brylie Green and Lilly Logsdon are two that lead by example on the court. They have great sportsmanship and are there to play the game. Addison Swope is an amazing player that the other girls look at and learn from. I am fortunate to have a team full of leaders.”
Cooper said several play ers on the roster have never played tennis before. “No one can replace Claire and Jenna,” Cooper said. “We need to focus on individual growth, fundamentals and learning to compete and win. Our goal this season is to lay a foundation for winning ten nis over the next few years.”
