  "account": "Staunton is attempting to rebuild its football program after losing a significant portion of its roster following a 4-6 season and a playoff absence the year before. Head coach Michael Bell describes the team as young, eager, and athletic, and emphasizes the opportunity created by the departures of 17 seniors. He believes the players will thrive on proving themselves and taking advantage of the increased playing time. Bell singles out three key players - defensive end and fullback Sirius Salisbury, running back and receiver Luc Geffrard, and quarterback contender Kayden Organ - who each bring unique skills and attitudes to the team. The defense is also a work in progress, with several returning players and high energy in practice. The Staunton 2026 football schedule features games against various opponents over the course of the season.",
  "summary": "With just under half of its football roster gone from a year ago, Staunton hopes to rebuild quickly with young talent.",
