CARL JUNCTION AT WILLARD
Last year’s records: Carl Junction 4-6, Willard 5-6
Last year’s meetings: Willard 48-6 (regular season), Willard 41-14 (district tournament)
OUTLOOK: The game marks the return of Carl Junction senior quarterback Alex Baker. The standout missed all of last season due to injury. Expect Drew Patterson, last year’s starting QB, to line up at receiver. Noah Southern, Brady Sims, Jesse Cassatt and Cole Stewart are other players to watch for Doug Buckmaster’s Bulldogs.
With plenty of depth, the Bulldogs are going back to a two-platoon this year. The Tigers will rely on 10 returning starters.
Blessed with size up front, Willard will once again rely on its power running game. Marshall Swadley returns at running back for the Tigers after recording more than 600 rushing yards last season. Eli Aye is a receiving threat.
