In his four years at Big Spring, coach Cannon McWilliams has steadily raised the Steers’ profile to a point where reaching the playoffs is the expectation and winning games in the postseason is a possibility.

But entering Year 5 with 17 of 25 letterman back from last year’s 6-6 squad, the Big Spring coach is hungry for more in 2023.

The Steers bring back all but two offensive starters from a year ago, including a 3,400-yard passer, a 975-yard rusher and an 1,100-yard receiver, to pair with a defense that returns seven starters. And if everything goes as planned this season, McWilliams believes his squad has what it takes to challenge for its first district title since 1990.
