The Nicholas Chronicle Hamrick. Hamrick is one of the most experienced players on the team, returning to the Highlanders after being a freshman starter on the 2008 team that made a playoff run. Other players mentioned by Coach Skidmore were junior running backs David Muzny and Joe Collins. Muzny is out
with a collar bone injury right now, and Collins is a transfer from Miami that the Highlanders picked up last year. Skidmore said that both of these running backs have great speed and can “take it to the house” at any time. Although the team possesses players with the quickness and ability to score, Coach Skidmore said he is more c o n -
cerned about having their linemen step up. “Those are highlight players, but they are only as good as the line.” He added, “We have some returners this year, but some of our returners are sophomores.” The Highlanders opened up their season on Friday, August 26 at home in the “Battle of the Wagon Wheel” against the RichJuniors include, back, from left, Dalton Ramsey, David Muzney, Lance wood Lumberjacks.
