**Stay tuned for our podcast interview with Coach Wynn..Scheduled to be released on Tuesday, August 14th.**
The Skinny
Like several teams across the state, the River Ridge Knights will be looking to fill some holes with the losses due to graduation. When we asked Coach Wynn about some of the biggest challenges of 2018,.
“Preparing our youth who will need to step in and fill some spots immediately,” he said.
The offense graduated all of their scoring from last season. So statistically, there are no points returning from last year’s team. Running Back Kofi Reeves-Miller could be one of the new faces on offense that can help provide production. Eric Bennett (WR) could be another weapon for the Knights in the passing game
The defensive unit for River Ridge also suffered heavy losses to graduation.
“We are returning 3 defensive starters from last year – Chico Ward (S), Chase Tomlinson (LB) , and Trenton McAllister (DL)”, he said.
Coach Wynn and his staff will certainly be working to getting the less experienced Knights prepared for a difficult schedule that includes county foe Etowah, defending Class-AA State Champ, Hapeville Charter, as well as a challenging region slate that includes Dalton, Harrison, Allatoona, Creekview and Sequoyah to name a few.
“Success will be defined through our ability to get better every week and how we handle the things we can control – Effort and Attitude.” Said Wynn.
