<body><div>FOXWORTH, Miss. (WDAM) - Lane Brady is a first-time head coach, and he is inheriting a program that won 20 games over the last three years, along with a roster that lost 14 starters to graduation.Brady said the coaches who came before him shaped who he is as a leader.“I’ve worked for guys like Tony Vance and guys like Drew Causey and the late Steve Bynum. I’ve worked for several head coaches there that have really poured into me and put a lot of effort into preparing me to be the guy I am today,” Brady said. “Can’t make light of the one that just left here too, Mason Woodrow. He poured a lot into me and trusted me with a lot, and I’m just grateful for everything these guys have done for me.”With 14 starters gone from last season’s squad, Brady said the message to his players has been direct: the players who left are not coming back.“It’s a lot of production we lost. I’ve told these kids over and over, look around, they’re not coming back, it’s you,” Brady said. “A lot of guys have to grow up really, really fast.”Junior quarterback Tyler Manning is among the team’s most experienced returners. He said the turnover in the roster has placed greater responsibility on him.“My leadership right now, I feel like it’s very important because it’s not many people out here that were out here last year. We got a bunch of new faces,” Manning said. “So my seniority has to show a little bit more this year.”Manning said the new roster has something to prove after playing behind a senior-heavy group last season.“We got so many new faces. We got a lot to prove this year. Like we got so much talent out here that hasn’t been seen because we had so many seniors last year,” Manning said. “Like that talent has got to be showed this year. I want to prove everybody wrong. Show everybody like just because we lost a whole bunch of seniors, we still have West Marion.”Brady said his expectation for the team is consistent effort and daily improvement.“I just want them to approach every practice with a mindset that we’re about to put everything we got on the field and empty the tank,” Brady said. “Give them everything that’s there, and we’re going to leave it all out there on the field and do our best to get a little bit better every day.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3XlYrK_1Djc6DKy00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3XlYrK_1Djc6DKy00" width="1300" height="241" ><figcaption>WDAM 7 On Your Side composer template image (WDAM7)</figcaption></figure>Want more WDAM 7 news in your inbox?
