2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

WEST ORANGE-STARK MUSTANGS

2019 Record: 10-2 Overall, 4-0 District

Class 4A, Division II Region III Finalist

 

The 2019 football season for the West Orange-Stark Mustangs was a season of streaks, both good and bad being extended.  First for the good as the 2019 season marked the ninth year in a row...every year in Cornel Thompson's tenure as Mustang head coach...that West Orange-Stark made the regional finals.  However, the 2019 season also marked the second year in a row that the Mustangs playoff road ended at the regional finals.  To clear that hurdle in a region that has gained a bit more firepower, the Mustangs will count on five returning starters and seven returning defenders.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Cornel Thompson

Assistant Coaches: Ed Dyer (Offensive Line), Mike Pierce (Defensive Coordinator/Secondary), Hiawatha Hickman (Defensive Line), Taran Hebert (Defensive Ends), Justin Trahan (Offensive Line), Russell Bottley (Receivers), DePauldrick Garrett (Running Backs), Phillip Mattingly (Receivers), Terry Joe Ramsey (Quarterbacks), J.J. Jennings (Defensive Line)

 

OFFENSE

Five starters return to the Mustang spread offense in 2020.  Senior quarterback Jerren "Pop" Terrell (110-189, 1453 yd, 12 TD, 1st team all-district) will again lead the Mustang offense.  Joining back in the Mustang backfield will be junior running back Elijah Gales (169 carries, 1389 yd, 24 TD, 1st team all-district).  Senior wide receivers Jalen Thompson (17 catches, 319 yd, 4 TD) and Jerrold Brown (9 catches, 143 yd, 1TD) will lead an otherwise young Mustang receiver corp.  Junior center Demetrius Hunter (1st team all-district) and lineman Courtney Davis return to lead a line which will feature junior lineman Bryson Jordan, as well as linemen Evan Gary, Cason Barnes, and Jacolby Breed.

 

DEFENSE

Seven starters return to the Mustang defense in 2020.  Senior defensive end Jalen Thompson (1st team all-district) and junior defensive end Dontrey McClain (2nd team all-district) will hold things down up front along with senior nose guard Floyd Mouton (2nd team all-district) with defensive tackle Carmello Jones also being counted on to contribute in the Mustang 50 set.  Senior Tyrone Brown (2nd team TSWA All-State, 10-4A-II Defensive Player of the Year) will line up along with senior Kaiden Berry.  Senior safety Jasachin Harris (1st team all-district), safety Jadon Jones and cornerback Artavious Samuel (1st team all-district) will bring plenty of experience to a Mustang secondary which will also include senior Jubar Ross.

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

Senior Angel Ibarra (1st team all-district) will again handle the place kicking for West Orange-Stark while Miguel Villeda will do the punting.  Gales and senior Jacob Dominguez will handle the return duties for the Mustangs.
