ROSCOE FEATURE: Big senior class out to make their swan song, Loyd’s debut a success

Tabbed to replace a successful coach who was let go in the offseason despite broad support by the Roscoe community, first-year Plowboys coach Daniel Loyd knew when he was hired that his first task would be earning buy-in from his players.

And in inheriting a large senior class that had just helped RHS to its fifth consecutive playoff appearance, Loyd knew winning over that group would be a big step toward accomplishing that goal.

Now in his fifth month as the Plowboys head man, Loyd has a unified Roscoe squad rowing in one common direction as the season nears its start.  And the former Seymour coach credits those seniors for the leadership they provided through what turned out to be a surprisingly seamless transition.
