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 July 31, 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 move to Class 4A Division I with the Big Spring Steers. On Wednesday we will take a look at the Brownwood Lions, followed by the Stephenville Yellow Jackets on Thursday.
BIG SPRING STEERS
LAST YEAR’S RECORD
- 6-6 overall, 1-3 District 2-4A Division I
ONE KEY STAT
- Big Spring has reached the playoffs for five consecutive years, going .500 or better each of the past three under coach Cannon McWilliams.
TWO NAMES TO KNOW
- Senior QB Gavin Padron (Passed for 3,411 yards and 28 touchdowns and rushed for 4 TDs in 2022)
- Senior RB/LB Kavien Ford (Rushed for 975 yards and 7 touchdowns and received for 352 yards and 8 TDs in 2022)
THREE BURNING QUESTIONS
- With the bulk of their skill talent back, how good can the Steers offense be in 2023?
- With six starters back on defense, can Big Spring improve upon the 28.8 points it allowed per game last fall?
- Can BHS build enough depth to compete in a tough district and beyond?
