2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

HAMSHIRE-FANNETT LONGHORNS

2019 Record: 7-4 Overall, 2-2 District

3rd Place in District 10-4A-II

 

2019 saw the continued progression of the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns under second year coach Mark Waggoner as the Longhorn's secured their first winning season since 2015.  To continue their winning ways, the Longhorns will rely on a relatively experienced squad (five starters return on each side of the ball) to again be in the hunt for a playoff spot.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Mark Waggoner

Assistant Coaches: Blake Waggoner (Offensive Coordinator), Jeremy Abshier (Defensive Line), Brody Fesco (Offensive Line), Jeremy Seymour (Secondary), Justin Richter (Linebackers), Wesley Parks (Receivers), Tigee Rideaux (Receivers), James Knowles (Freshmen), Josh Tilley (Freshmen)

 

OFFENSE

Five starters return to the Hamshire-Fannett spread offense in 2020.  While the search for a new quarterback to replace the graduated Marcus Morris will likely extend into fall practice, the running back position will be settled as junior Jordan Joiner will shoulder the rushing load with junior Jordan Denson also seeing time in the backfield.  The new Longhorn quarterback will have the luxury of a experienced and talented receiver corp as senior wide outs Garrett Picou (1st team all-district) and Evan Viator (2nd team all-district) as well as junior Kheagian Heckaman (2nd team all-district) will be joined by junior Jeremiah Ardoin.  Senior offensive guard Vance Moore returns to lead a line which will also feature senior center Layne Werner...who saw plenty of action in 2019...senior offensive tackle and JV standout Khyler Nonette, senior lineman Hunter Freeman and sophomore Cayden Ferrell, who might be a hidden gem.

 

DEFENSE

Five starters return to the Longhorn defense in 2020.  A line which will start out the season short on experience will feature returning senior Blake Briggs (2nd team all-district) along with juniors Colton Singletary and Adam Bueno as well as senior Reese Rogers.  Junior linebacker Brendan Walters will head a linebacker corp which will also feature Denson and senior linebackers Jonathan Tate and Caleb Chandler.  Senior free safety Viator (1st team all-district) and senior strong safety Anakin Hall (2nd team all-district at cornerback), along with junior cornerback Blake Biggs and junior Colin Dorsey will roam the Longhorn secondary.

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

Senior Eddie Melendez will handle the place kicking for Hamshire-Fannett while the other special teams assignments will be determined at fall practice.
