First-year Head Coach Bill Smith is
rolling out a Class 4A program with
Class 6A numbers. Averaging more than
120 kids during spring and summer
workouts, the Lions are expecting to
build on recent success. They actually
dressed 85 players during the spring
jamboree. As far as the returning talent
we’ll start out on the defense where
the Lions return a leader in Austin
Stephens, a three-year starter at middle
linebacker. Linebacker C. J Foster, nose
guard Greg Lawrence and defensive
end Savion Gill bolster a strong front
seven. On offense, Smith says he’s the
deepest at quarterback since he’s been
a head coach. Junior Avery Harris has
the edge at quarterback although he’s
followed closely by Austin Campbel and
Tanner Reeves. Campbell and Harris
started as defensive backs last season.
Charles Smith, weighing in at 208
pounds, packs a punch at running back.
James Jenkins (6’2” 180) and Tacorrie
Russel (6’3” 205) are big threats at wide
receiver and the line has three starters
returning in Jakari Robinson, Bryer
Bussie and Robert Carrothers.
COACH BILL SMITH...
“We’ve got more than 60 players that haven’t missed a workout all summer.”
