North Daviess and Washington are set to begin the new football season. North Daviess, led by coach Trent Fine, recently had their best season in school history. Fine has claimed 18 victories over the past two seasons. Washington, coached by Joe Morris, has won nine games in the last two years. The two schools faced off in the first game of the season.
Washington, the Hatchets, will be competing in their new 3A class after moving down from 4A. They will join Sectional 31 which also includes Lincoln, Sullivan, Edgewood, and Owen Valley. Washington will be returning talent in kicker Carter Browning, linebacker Lane Peachee, and two-way starter Cam Wilson. WHS will field a team of around 50 players with nine seniors, 13 juniors, and seven sophomores.
The offensive backfield has been hit hard by graduates leaving spots open for Connor Combess, Dawson Bishop, and Colton Alford. The defense will be led by the familiar names of the Samples and Will Murrie as linebackers. WHS is expected to excel in kicking, with Carter Browning being one of the best in southern Indiana. WHS opens the season against North Daviess and will then face Southridge, Gibson Southern, Heritage Hills, and 4A MTV.
North Daviess, led by coach Trent Fine, is a team that has seen significant growth in recent years. They won 10 games last year and are looking forward to the challenges ahead with a strong roster.
