After a tough 1-9 season a year ago, the Winters Blizzards are eager to start 2024 with a clean slate. That, indeed, will be the case, both literally and figuratively.
After competing in District 4-2A Division I last fall, the Blizzards are moving to District 7-2A Division II. That means a slew of new opponents, as well as a chance to compete on a more level playing field against smaller schools with lesser numbers in their football programs.
Winters coach Matt McCarty said during preseason workouts that the Blizzards have 30 athletes playing football this fall, so those players will represent the varsity team. There will be no junior varsity squad this year.
