Final Comments:
As a team Taylor will bring a lot of flexibility to the depth chart. There are a lot of young men that have experience under the Friday night lights. We also have a strong core of underclassmen that will bring competitiveness at every position group. It will be difficult to replace our QB in Jackson McGowan and a dynamic playmaker in JT Rudisell. However, the young men for the 2024 team are poised and ready to make a name for themselves. The first three games of the season will tell a lot about the outlook of the team. The Yellow Jackets face Talawanda, Lawrenceburg, and Woodward to start the year.
