Team Outlook

Stratford Elks (Blue , White) - Head Coach Eddie Metcalf -  (13-3-0) @ Stratford  and  (13-3-0) Overall, Offense (Split Back), Defense (5-3), returns 12 letterman 4 offensive 5 defensive starters with 13 letterman lost from a (13-3) State Finalist team.  Stratford returns (1) 1st All-District player. JV Record (8-0).  Overall Strength - defense, Offensive strength - running back, Defensive strength - linebacker.   Notes from the Coach: We have to replace a great group of seniors.  We have some good young kids who will have to grow up in a hurry.

 

Gruver Greyhounds (Red, Black) - Head Coach Terry Felderhoff -  (7-3-0) @ Gruver and  (7-3-0) Overall, Offense (Wishbone / Flexbone), Defense (4-3), returns 12 letterman 6 offensive 6 defensive starters with 5 letterman lost from a (7-3) team.  Gruver returns (1) 1st All-District players.  JV Record (1-5).  Offensive strength - quarterback, Defensive strength - linebacker.  Notes from the Coach: We will be very "senior heavy" with 11 seniors that all contributed greatly as juniors.  The kids should be comfortable after a year in the new offense and defense we introduced last year.  District 1-A a very, very tough district, but I feel we will contend for one of the two-playoff spots; if we can avoid injuries.
