HASKELL — With a background of wing-T during his days as an assistant in Wellington, first-year Haskell coach Creighton Henderson is well-versed in smashmouth football and has a full appreciation of it. 

He is, however, adaptable. And heading into the 2025 campaign at HHS, he is almost forced to be, given the personnel he has to build his first roster.

Aside from potential All-Big-Country Preps quarterback Haegan Pinkerton, Haskell has several solid wide receivers, very few running backs and Henderson is planning accordingly. The Indians will throw the ball in 2025, backed by a uber-aggressive defense unlike the area has seen in a good while.
