PLAYERS TO WATCH 💪

BLAKE SIPES

The dynamic dual-threat quarterback was one of the most explosive players in the Knox Morrow Athletic Conference. He threw for 1,145 yards and eight touchdowns and rushed for 1,346 yards and 17 TDs.

GAVIN TOOMBS

An imposing 6-foot-5, 230-pound tight end and defensive end, Toombs caught 19 passes for 296 yards and four TDs last fall. He made 24.5 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss. 

CRYSTAL BALL 🔮

First-year coach Scott Spitler will have a talented roster to work with in his first season at Fredericktown. Sipes was an All-Ohioan last year and is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the KMAC. Toombs is attracting the attention of several college programs and has an offer from Division II juggernaut Grand Valley State. The offense should be fun to watch.
