Replacing Barton at quarterback will either be Ben Mora, John Howard or possi- bly Boston Dowd, out for football for the first time, either in high school, junior high or youth. Dowd has been out due to a medical condition, but he has been cleared to play. "We are going to use multiple sets and are going to be very zone-oriented," Hoover said. "Everything is going to (be) based on our linemen being able to block zone. Oakley is a very versatile player that we will try to move him around depend- ing on our matchups. He is strong and fast, and we hope to be able to get him in space and match him one-on-one with a defender. Reece has a great pair of hands and does a great job attacking the ball in the air. We needed to find a player who we can count on to make big plays in the pass- ing game, and Reece has worked very hard to put himself in a position to be that guy." While the Mustangs lost a good propor- tion of their yardage on offense, they also lost a high percentage of their tackles from the defensive side of the ball, including linebackers David Roark, De Santiago, Teague and DelosSantos. "I think we will have more team speed on defense this year," Hoover said. "The kids have put in a lot of time improving strength and speed this offseason and we hope to see that translate into playing fast and being great tacklers on the field." Returning starting defensive lettermen are linemen Nolen Baisch and Dylan Akins, while Michael Williams and Zach Woods return to the defensive secondary. Also, Dylan Allison, who received honorable mention all-conference as a kicker, is back. "I'm excited to get started and about the new additions to the conference," Hoover said. "It will be a chance to play some teams we haven't seen before. It's going to be fun to line up against some teams we aren't familiar with and go compete. Three new teams we play are in our first four games, so we won't see much about them on film. It will be just who executes and competes the hardest. This group of kids wants to put their own stamp the program. They don't want to ride on the tail of last year. They want to build upon that and have a season to remember. They have put in a lot of work to do that. I am super excited to see what this group can do." McDonald County opens its season on Aug. 24 at Marshfield and then hosts Logan Rogersville on Aug. 31 for the home opener.
