Fort Frye Cadets
After an impressive 8-win regular season last year, the Fort Frye Cadets are eager to build on their success. They finished first in the inaugural season of the TSL and retained much of their key talent for this upcoming season.
Following a strong playoff performance ending in a tough loss to West Jefferson in the regional semifinals, the Cadets are ready for redemption in the postseason.
Head Coach Eric Huck remains confident in their determination and drive.
Marietta Tigers
Last season, the Marietta Tigers finished the regular season 5-5 and 1-2 in conference play, landing them second in the TSL. The team faces a significant transition this year after graduating 13 seniors. Most of whom contributed on the offensive side of the ball.
However the Tigers return with a strong foundation led by quarterback Drew Warden, an extremely experienced player who stands behind a solid offensive line. Additionally junior wide receiver Zaiden Wittekind is expected to have a breakout season this year. This offensive combination just might be the key to a successful campaign for the Tigers this season.
Warren Warriors
The Warren Warriors enter this season with elevated expectations, having brought in more players for this upcoming year than the amount they lost to graduation.
After finishing third in the TSL last year with a 4-6 overall record and 1-2 mark in conference play, Warren will be focused on improving their conference performance this season.
Point Pleasant Big Blacks
Last season, the Point Pleasant Big Blacks posted a 5-5 overall record and went 2-1 in the conference. Point Pleasant’s winning performance against TSL powerhouse Fort Frye last season landed them in a tied first place position in the conference.
Point Pleasant is looking for their first playoff appearance since the 2021 season.
