2023 Outlook
As the 2023 football season approaches, all eyes are on the South Harrison Hawks as they prepare for another exciting year on the gridiron. Under the leadership of head coach Brett Hathaway, who is entering his third season at the helm, the young Hawks team is poised to continue their growth and strive for success.
The Hawks faced significant losses from the previous year, with only six starters returning to the roster. However, despite this challenge, the team remains optimistic and determined to showcase their talent on the field. With a young but talented squad, the Hawks are eager to prove that age is just a number.
One key player to watch for this season is running back Lucas Rush. Known for his speed and agility, Rush has the ability to break through defensive lines and make big plays. His versatility in both rushing and receiving makes him a dynamic threat on offense. Alongside him, defensive lineman Brady Rush brings strength and tenacity to the Hawks’ defensive line, disrupting opposing offenses and creating havoc in the backfield.
In addition to the Rush brothers, the Hawks also have a strong supporting cast. Running back Corey Saltis possesses a mix of power and elusiveness that can make him a reliable option in the backfield. The offensive line, led by Layon Wageman and Joel Fankhauser, will play a crucial role in creating running lanes and protecting the quarterback. Their experience and leadership will be vital for the success of the offense.
Furthermore, the Hawks boast an array of talented running backs, including Shepard Paugh and Charles Langford. Paugh’s agility and quickness make him a valuable asset in both the running and passing game, while Langford brings a combination of speed and power to the backfield. With such depth in the running back position, the Hawks can keep their opponents guessing with a variety of offensive schemes.
As the 2023 football season kicks off, the South Harrison Hawks are ready to face adversity head-on.
