It’s been 35 years since Big Spring last won a district championship, but the Steers feel that could change this season if the chips fall the right way.

With a strong returning nucleus of 20 lettermen, including nine starters both ways, Coach Cannon McWilliams’ squad is expecting significant improvement on last year’s 5-6 campaign.

And competing in a four-team District 3-4A Division I with a retooling Andrews squad and building programs from Pecos and San Angelo Lake View, the Steers view this season as an opportunity to achieve a goal they’ve been striving for since McWilliams took over as Big Spring’s head coach in 2019.
