The 2023 season will serve as a measuring stick for the Early football team. After following an 11-year playoff drought with three consecutive trips to the postseason, the Longhorns will have a chance to find out just where they stand as a program this fall.

EHS graduated a sizeable senior class that was pivotal in the Longhorns’ turnaround the past three years under coach Daniel Price. And now it’s time to find out if a team with a new set of leaders can pick up where the last group left off.

With just 12 of 26 lettermen back from last year’s 7-5 squad, Early will need some young and unproven players to shine if it hopes to maintain its recent success. But Price is excited to see how his youthful squad will attack that challenge.
