Football is just around the corner, and we at BigCountryPreps.com are committed to bringing you the information you need to prepare for your favorite team’s season.
We’ll be releasing our Big Country Preps Preseason Football Preview, the most comprehensive look at the upcoming Big Country football season anywhere, on Wednesday, Aug. 17. But you won’t have to wait until then to sate your gridiron appetite.
Leading up to the first day of fall football practice on Aug. 1, we’ll be spotlighting each 11-man team in the area and posing some of the key questions they’ll face in 2022 as part of our annual “Countdown to Two-a-Days” series.
We move to Class 4A Division I with the Big Spring Steers. On Saturday we will take a look at the Brownwood Lions followed by the Stephenville Yellow Jackets on Sunday.
BIG SPRING STEERS
LAST YEAR’S RECORD
- 6-5 overall, 1-2 District 2-4A Division I
ONE KEY STAT
- Big Spring’s six victories last season marked the Steers’ highest win total since 2014, when they went 9-3.
TWO NAMES TO KNOW
- Senior utility/DB Eli Cobos (Had 820 yards and 9 touchdowns receiving while adding 57 tackles and 4 pass breakups in 2021)
- Junior RB/LB Kavien Ford (Had 205 yards rushing and 261 yards receiving in 2021)
THREE BURNING QUESTIONS
- After graduating 18 of their 27 lettermen, including seven offensive and six defensive starters, can the Steers continue their upward trajectory?
- Can quarterback Gavin Padron replace the production lost with the graduation of multi-year starter Gabriel Baeza?
- Can the Steers defense improve on the 27.3 points per game allowed last season?
