The Skinny
Coach Tim Cokely leads enters his second season at the helm for the White County Warriors. The Warriors had a reversal of fortunes in Cokely’s first season and returned the playoffs for the first time in four seasons. However, with a new season comes new challenges.
Cokely said, “creating depth,” is one of the biggest challenges that he and his staff will face as they prepare for the 2018 season.
The Warriors do return J Ben Haynes at quarterback for his sophomore season. Haynes was an All-Region Honorable Mention selection his freshman season.
Cody VerSluis is projected as one of the leading receivers for the Warriors. While Noah Hoersten is slated to help anchor the offensive line for Coach Cokely.
First Team All-Region linebacker Mike Mintz returns to lead the Warriors on defense. Minitz is a punishing tackler who always seems to be running downhill.
Jay Lepkoske and Deejay Fleming should give the Warriors experience on the defensive line. Karson Crow and Kurtis Havlen will lead the Warriors secondary.
While we don’t have a definition of success for the Warriors this season, we can certainly believe it would have something to do with coming into each practice and each game and competing to the best of their ability.
