This year’s Tucker County Football team has some big shoes to fill. Last year the Mt. Lions ran through the regular season with a 10-0 record and ended the season 12-1 with a Semi-final loss to Werton-Maddona in double overtime. Gone from that team are 11 seniors that contributed greatly to the success of that team.
Head Coach AJ Rapp commented on the experience of his players this year, “We were good enough last year to get some younger players some playing time in the second half of games, but it wasn’t playing together as a team and we have inexperience playing together as a team.” The work in the off season has continued and Coach Rapp is pleased, “Physically we are in pretty decent shape.”
Last year the Quarterback position was set, but this year there are two players competing for the position, juniors Chase Alkire and Seth Underwood. Coach Rapp hasn’t picked a starter yet saying, “both players have gotten equal reps in the scrimmages, and Monday I’ll let them know who is starting Friday.” There are some key players returning from last year’s team such as Marshall Whisner(OL/DE), Corey Hanlin(OL/DL), Zach Armstrong(RB/DB), Spencer Pennington(RB/LB), Zac Haddox(RB/LB) and Michael Callaway(WR/S/K). Other players that plan to contribute will be Cory Kelley, Dusty Conrad, Chris Freeman, Issac Cole, Tyler Birchland and Andrew Hauser to name a few.
