Freshman Aaron Gates will play some in the defensive back position and freshman Ethan McDowell will play some as a defensive linemen. “We had a big senior class last year, so there’s a lot of holes to fill. I’m excited about our young guys,” Dallas said. “How they handle the physicality of the play will determine our wins and losses, but all I believe in focusing on the things we can control like preparation and how hard we play on every single snap. We’ll try to maximize exactly what we have.” Junior Maxwell Pope is expected to contribute in the kicker position, while Joshua Taylor will be doing some punting. “I expect good things out of Pope as far as field goals and kick offs,” Dallas said. “As far as our long snapping and our punt it’s a little up in the air, but I’m actually expecting Joshua Taylor to probably be our punter this year.” Trinity will be competing in the same region as last year, in the GHSA single A private classification. Dallas said he is looking to secure some region wins to get a good seed for the playoffs. The first region game will be against Mount Vernon Presbyterian. “Our mission is to win on the field, but we also want to win off the field. We challenge our young boys to be Godly men,” Dallas said.
