2021 EASTLAND FOOTBALL PREVIEW: Mavericks optimistic despite huge graduation hit

EASTLAND — They graduated 17 lettermen and only return 12. Half of their starters graduated, including a Division I quarterback and an All-Big Country Preps running back. They have new faces on the offensive and defensive lines and a schedule that might be better described as a gauntlet. 

Yet the Eastland Mavericks and coach James Morton are upbeat and positive about the 2021 season and what it may offer.
