HAWLEY — A large number of returnees usually means improvement for a football team, but it doesn’t guarantee it. And in the case of the Hawley Bearcats, having eight offensive and nine defensive starters returning still leaves them with a large question mark.
Can they rebuild one of the Big Country’s best offensive lines well enough to top last year’s 10-3 record?
With All-Big Country Preps performers Bo Thompson, Julian Segura and Kolter Willeford having all received their diplomas in the spring, coach Mitch Ables must not only rebuild his offensive front, but he must also adjust his offense to suit his personnel.
