2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

HAMSHIRE-FANNETT LONGHORNS

2018 Record: 5-6 Overall, 1-3 District

4th Place in District 10-4A-II

 

The 2018 Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns managed to reach at least one of their goals as they qualified for the Class 4A, Division II.  However, the number of district wins was far too little and stay in the playoffs was far too short for Head Coach Mark Waggoner's taste.  Waggoner is looking for improvement from last season as he does return a lot of experience (6 starters on offense, 7 on defense).

Head Coach: Mark Waggoner

Assistant Coaches: Blake Waggoner (Offensive Coordinator), Justin Richter (Running Backs/Outside Linebackers), Jeremy Abshier (Defensive Line), Jeremy Seymour (Defensive Backs), Wesley Parks (Wide Receivers), James Knowles (Offensive and Defensive Lines), Tigee Rideaux (Wide Receivers/Defensive Backs), Brody Fesco (Offensive Line)

Offense:

Six starters return to the Hamshire-Fannett offense in 2019.  Senior Marcus Morris (10-4A-II Offensive Player of the Year in 2018) will again lead the Longhorn spread offense.  He will be joined in the backfield by senior running back Kyle Saurage with junior Anakin Hall also seeing carries.  The Hamshire-Fannett receiver corp will feature senior wide receiver Tahji Edwards and juniors Garrett Picou and Evan Viator.  Senior Mason Hathaway and sophomore Kheagian Keckamen will also see significant time at wide out.  Senior Lane Berry (2nd team all-district) will lead an offensive line which will also feature senior Gabe Constance.  Look for seniors Grady Doucet and Greg Johnson, as well as junior Hunter Freeman to compete for starting posts on the line.

Defense:

Seven starters return to the Hamshire-Fannett defense in 2019.  Senior Jacob Garza (2nd team all-district) and senior Colton Savoie will lead a defensive line which will also feature junior Blake Briggs.  Saurage will team with senior inside linebacker Mason Stutes (2nd team all-district), junior Jordan LaVergne and sophomore Brendan Walter to form the Longhorn linebacker corp.  Junior safety Evan Viator (2nd team all-district) will join with fellow safety Hall (2nd team all-district at outside linebacker in 2018) and Morris to anchor a Hamshire-Fannett secondary which will also include Hathaway and sophomores Jordan Joiner and Darius Byrd.

Special teams positions will be finalized during summer practice.

    • Whatever happened to educating people so that they don’t go off the deep end pursuing an incident that shouldn’t be political in the first place? Seems everyone is looking for their “trigger”moment. The dumbing down of America has taken its toll. Anyone who would hold this against her is doing so out of spite and for political gain. Said people need to be ignored.
    • You won’t get an argument from me that this won’t hurt her nationally but I don’t think this will hurt her in SD or even an appointment in a Republican administration.  I’m sure she saw backlash from some, apparently not from folks like you and me, which is significant, but like I said, I appreciate the honesty.
    • Appreciate the confidence.  Why don’t we see how this works out for her.  Going great so far.  She MIGHT be able to get re-elected in South Dakota next election, but if a good candidate runs against her in the Republican primaries she may be in trouble.  I don’t think there’s a chance in hades she gets the VP nomination, and if for some reason Trump is dumb enough to give it to her, his chances of winning are probably over.  On a positive note, maybe DeSantis gets it now?  If they win and do a decent job then we’d have a VP ready to run for president in four years with a good shot of winning.  
    • I honestly don’t have an issue with it.  I grew up around livestock.  We had a neighbor lose nearly 30 animals in a 3-week period before they caught the dogs doing it. Those dogs needed to die.  I was there when my uncle killed a dog that was eating his chickens… didn’t bother me. If one of my dogs ever bites one of my kids it’ll be dead.  Immediately.  But some things are better left unsaid, and probably 90% of the country loves dogs, with only a small fraction of them being able to relate to why she did what she did.  
    • If only she was as politically savvy as you. 🙂
