2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

SABINE PASS SHARKS

2019 Record: 1-6 Overall

 

As one of the smallest schools in Southeast Texas, which just happens to sit right on the Gulf of Mexico, there is no surprise that Sabine Pass was heavily affected by Harvey and Imelda.  So much so that the Sharks did not play a district schedule in 2019.  But 2020 brings a new season and head coach Jason Thibodeaux has proclaimed that the Sharks are ready to take on a full load.  Seven returning starters on offense and eight on defense from the shortened 2019 season return with the intention of competing for a playoff spot out of 12-2A-II.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Jason Thibodeaux

Assistant Coaches: Elmer Laird (Offensive Coordinator), Mark Hodge, Chad Bryan, Will DeBlanc, Cody Arnold, Christian Stewart

 

OFFENSE

Seven starters return to the Sabine Pass spread offense in 2020.  Senior quarterback Ahmad Lorthridge will once again lead the Shark offense.  Senior running back Grayson Johnson will shoulder the Sabine Pass rushing load.  Senior Jeann Zuniga will lead an otherwise young receiver corp which will include freshmen Michael Williams, Makiel Morrison and Isiah Washington.

DEFENSE

Eight starters return to the Shark 4-2-5 defense in 2020.  Senior defensive end Lorthridge will lead a defensive line which will also feature Lawson, Blood, Pinell and Hebert.  Johnson, Landor and Arceneaux will also see time there.  Grayson Johnson and Rylan Johnson.  Zuniga, Williams and Morrison will patrol the Shark secondary.
