After spearheading Bangs’ turnaround with his production on both sides of the football, senior Ethan Sanchez would have to be considered the Dragons’ undisputed leader heading into the 2020 season.

But it’s the arrival of a second Ethan to the Bangs backfield that could take coach Kyle Maxfield’s team to a whole new level this fall.

Joining the Dragons roster this offseason when his father took Bangs’ defensive coordinator position, former Big Spring and Farmersville signal caller Ethan Cortez has brought a combination of experience and arm talent to the quarterback position that Maxfield hasn’t often had at his disposal during his lengthy head coaching career.

And with Cortez adding a reliable passing threat to an offense that has already proven it can run effectively, the sky could be the limit for Bangs’ spread attack.
