Preview: It looks like Mark Hodge has the pieces in place to take another team on a state title run with West Virginia-bound Raheim Jeter returning as a third-year starting quarterback. Running back Drek Carter and receivers Que Moore and Andrew Dantin come back as part of what could be an even more potent attack in Hodge’s third season guiding the Vikings. Defensively, Bennie Littlejohn and Jacob Mattison anchor the linebacker corps while Cameron Jackson leads the defensive linemen.
