BROWNWOOD — After laboring through a 4-7 season with a young team last year, the Brownwood Lions are looking to take a step forward in 2022.

And they have the weapons to do it. 

Armed with seven offensive and 10 defensive returning starters among 24 lettermen, Brownwood is expected to field a varsity roster in excess of 40 players — including promotees from a 10-0 JV team.
