The bar has been set for the Sherman Tide after a playoff run last season, and the team hopes to take the next step toward a title this year.

While the team is heavy on underclassmen, it will rely on senior leadership at key positions to pose a problem for anyone traveling to Seth, West Virginia, this season.

“They’re great kids. They’re excited to be out here,” first-year head coach Kevin Buzzard said. “They’ve all worked very hard, and when one kid makes a big play and they do good in practice, they all rally around them. If one of them gets down, they all rally around him and get him up.”

The Tide kicks off the 2022 campaign against Mount View.
