The Skinny
Head Coach Krofton Montgomery enters his second season as head coach of the West Hall Spartans. We asked Coach Montgomery what were some of the team’s challenges entering the 2019 season.
“Schedule and youth at key spots,” he replied.
While the Spartans are looking to get experience in key spots on offense, they welcome back junior quarterback Clayton Jenkins. As a sophomore, Jenkins passed for 961 yards and 9-TDs while splitting time at QB. The teams top rusher, Solomon Riley returns for the 2019 season. Riley averaged 5.7 yards per carry and 5-TDs last season.
Junior, Rodrigo Lopez is the team’s leading returning receiver. Lopez caught 13 balls a year ago and looks to play a larger roll this season with the graduation the team’s top two receivers in 2018.
The Spartan defense welcomes back Cade Collins at linebacker. He is one of the their top returning tacklers. He will be joined at linebacker by Nick Strum who should have opportunities to make an impact for West Hall on defense. Logan Ormerod will anchor the defensive line for the Spartans.
We asked Coach Montgomery if there were any games that were circled on the calendar this season.
“Johnson (Gainesville),” he replied.
How will the Spartans define success this season?
Coach Montgomery said, “Continued improvement and consistency.”
