More often than not during football season, it’s skill position players that are in the spotlight thanks to their ability to find the end zone on every snap.

In their unblemished run, Strong has rarely found itself trailing in football games.

STRONG - If there has been a hallmark for Strong this season, it’s been getting off to fast starts.

Two schools that have a long history of success in November will collide in the opening round of the 2A 8-Man playoffs on Friday.

It seems that whenever Strong and Mountain Pine meet, championships are often at stake.

MARVELL - After a perfect September that ended with a crucial conference victory, Strong began their October slate with a dominant performance.

Fresh off of a key victory last week, Strong hits the road trying to avoid a letdown.

Although the calendar may still be in September, Jerry Burson Field will be the site for a showdown on Friday that will have ramifications for November.

After opening the season with a pair of non-conference wins, Strong begins 2A South play this week with the aim of qualifying for the playoffs for the third straight year since moving to eight-man football.

Strong’s Kaiden McHenry-Jones blew away the field Wednesday in the 110-meter hurdles, claiming the event title in the 1A State Track & Field Championships at Lincoln.
