The Skinny
Head Coach Dean Fabrizio had his Lee County Trojans clicking on all cylinders last season going undefeated and claiming their second consecutive state title in football. So after winning back-to-back titles, it should be no surprise how coach Fabrizio responded when we asked what is the team’s biggest challenge coming into this season.
“Avoiding complacency,” he said.
The Trojans have the luxury of bringing back Kyle Toole at quarterback. Last season, Toole passed for over 2,100 yards and 22-TDs with only 1-INT. Toole’s top receiving threat returns in junior Chauncey Magwood. Magwood led the team in receptions (27) and yards (453) last season.
James Hopson, the team’s third leading receiver from a year ago returns for his senior season. While tight end Parker Rogers and lineman Wing Green will add experience along the line of scrimmage.
Defensively, linebacker Baron Hopson will lead the way for a Trojans defense that surrendered a paltry 5.1 points per game last season. Last year’s defense also recorded 6 shutouts.
There are no games circled on the schedule for the Trojans. They just take each week one at a time. Certainly many teams will be gunning for the Trojans, but we believe they have enough talent to make another deep run into the playoffs this season.
