With just eight lettermen back from last year’s 3-7 team, Hico won’t have experience in many spots in 2019.

Fortunately for the Tigers, the one exception to that rule is a pretty important position group.

Of Hico’s five returning starters on offense, three can be found on the line, where seniors Karson Zant and Jacob Harvin and junior Brendon McKinney are all entering their third year as varsity players. And if you ask coach Randy Thornton, that’s a pretty solid foundation to build upon.
