Coach: JON GUIDIE
9-2
OFFENSE
After making it to the district championship game last season, the Tigers and head coach Jon Guidie are ready to erase that memory and create a new one that involved the Tigers reaching their goals this season. In 2024 the Tigers finished the season 9-2 and two players have departed for Pitt State. Trevor Meadows and Karson Murray have left big holes for the Tigers to fill. A fact not lost on coach Guidie.
“Only two starters back on offense,” Guidie said. “Every week is big. We may have some growing pains early with 14 new starters, but we will get better each week. We have had a great summer and have already made strides. As always, we want to compete for championships and compete at a high level every Friday night.”
Last season the offense averaged 34.7 points per game, 103 yards through the air and 272 rushing yards per game. To repeat those numbers the offense will need players like Zane Browning (6-1, 190, Sr.) to make great decisions at quarterback and be the leader the team needs this season. Landon West (5-10, 175, Jr.) will join Browning in the backfield as one of the go-to running backs in the offense. Look for West to play a key role in the run game and be a viable option in the passing game out of the backfield. Several players will step up and play a big role in the passing game this season including Carson Kinder (6-1, 165, Sr.) and Malachi Dougless (5-10, 165, Jr.). Both players are athletic and bring excellent hands to the receiving corps. Add Carson Womack (5-10, 165, Jr.) and Tate Nichols (5-10, 165, Jr.) to the mix and you have the makings of a group that will be tough to slow down. The offensive line features Byron Reales (5-10, 245, Sr.) and MJ Martsolf (6-5, 340, Sr.). Reales put on 40-pounds in the offseason and is a two-year starter at center. Martsolf is a big, physical player who moves well for his size and has developed into a more athletic type of lineman in the trench.
“Our guys have been putting the work in during the off season. We want to be playing our best football at the end of the season,” said Byron Reales.
