TOLAR — With only four starters returning on both sides of the ball among just 14 lettermen, the Tolar Rattlers will have a number of key questions to answer heading into the 2025 season. 

At the top of that list will be in replacing standout running back Peyton Brown, who will be competing at Hardin-Simmons University this fall. Secondly, can the Rattlers rebuild their offensive and defensive fronts quick enough to be ready for district play? 

And lastly, can Tolar field a team that is on a par with last year’s 11-2 squad that pushed three rounds deep into postseason play?
