Coming off their best two-year stretch in program history, the Santo Wildcats will have their mettle tested in 2023. 

After following an 11-2 campaign in 2021 with 10 wins last season, SHS will find out this fall if it’s a “reload” program or a “rebuild” one.

The Wildcats return just 10 of 24 lettermen from last year’s team, including three offensive and four defensive starters, and they’ll be leaning on call-ups from a 5-4 junior varsity team for depth. But coach Devon Mann, who is now in his seventh year as the Santo head coach, is confident his squad will find a way to compete at a high level this season despite any perceived disadvantages it may face.
