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. 16. 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 2023 as part of our annual “Countdown to Two-a-Days” series.
We continue in Class 2A Division I with the Winters Blizzards. On Wednesday we will take a look at the Bangs Dragons, followed by the Coleman Bluecats on Thursday.
WINTERS BLIZZARDS
LAST YEAR’S RECORD
- 1-9 overall, 0-6 in District 4-2A Division I
ONE KEY STAT
- Winters was outscored by a combined margin of 448-124 last season.
TWO NAMES TO KNOW
- Senior QB/DB Chris Martinez (Returns for his second season as WHS’ starting quarterback)
- Senior RB/LB Alejandro Garcia (Was the Blizzards’ leading rusher in 2022)
THREE BURNING QUESTIONS
- After basing out of the flexbone and spread under coach Matt McCarty, what offense will the Blizzards run in 2023?
- How will Winters compensate for a general lack of size up front, particularly on the defensive line?
- After struggling to a combined three wins over the past two seasons, can WHS develop some confidence and a sense of belief in a tough district?
