Outlook – The
Arrows were the No. 2 seed in this playoff region last year and they won a
first-round game at home over Mount Orab Western Brown before falling to
Cincinnati Anderson.
Tecumseh has a total of 10 returning starters, many of which
play both ways. Williams is an Ohio High top 150 Contender and he anchors both lines.
Gault threw for 768 yards with four touchdowns and six
interceptions and should be much better in his second season in the starting
role.
The Arrows can point to a pair of talented, experience
running backs to lead the offense. Last season, Holmes rushed for 977 yards
(7.8 per carry) and Sanning wasn’t far behind him with 914 yards (6.1 per
carry).
The leading returning performers on defense are Sanning (110
tackles), Eier (106 tackles) and Holmes (91 tackles, four interceptions).
“We return an experienced group of players that are
committed to the program,” head coach Kent Massie said. “They are a
talented group with a tremendous work ethic. The senior class will provide
outstanding leadership, focus and they have game-day experience.
“The longevity of our coaching staff provides us with the
stability and preparation necessary to be competitive. We look forward to a
successful season.”
