After fighting through back-to-back losing seasons — the first two in Devon Mann’s eight-year tenure as head coach — the Santo Wildcats are expecting a return to winning football in 2025.
While still on the younger side after graduating 10 lettermen and returning just three senior starters from last year’s 4-6 squad, the ‘Cats feel like they have the talent in their program to start a run of success like the one that saw them win 21 games across the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
With successful campaigns at the freshman and junior varsity levels a year ago, Santo’s younger players are accustomed to winning football games. And Mann said the upperclassmen in his program who aren’t could soon become so with the team he’ll be putting on the field this fall.
