No. 2 Loyola Will Lean on Coaching, Tradition and Talent Sophomores in Four-Peat Attempt – ryan

Two Factors Large -Determine Preseason Rankings: Returning Starters and History Program. And a Star Quarterback Always Helps.

Loyola has the program history. The Ramblers Are Going for a Fourth Consecutive Class 8a State Championship. But this is an entrinery new team. Loyola returns Only a handful of Starters, SO the No. 2 RANKING MIGHT SEEM LIKE A STRETCH. To live up to it, the ramblers will Need massive controls from guaned sophomores who have yet to play a varyity game.

“The Last Couple of Years, we’ve been Very fortunate where we’ve a lot of retourning starters back,” Ramblers Coach Beau Desireow Said. “THIS YEAR, WE’RE YOUNG. WE HAVE SOME REALLY Good Young Talent. We’re coaching say hard and throwing a lot at say.”

Colin Vardijan and Tommy Fraumann return on the offensive line. Nick Richter and Kai Calcutt Return on the Defensive Line and Linebacker Gavin King is Back. That’s it for starters. Linebacker Henry Newton and Receiver Robert Clingan Played Significant Minutes Last Year.

“There are definitely a lot of New Guys Filling Big Shoes,” King Said. “But the coaching that we have is easily the best in the states. Anyone who has not played in a varity game can be ready on the first snap in the first weeks.”

Matthew Lee, A 6-4, 200-Pound Sophomore Quarterback, has reciped the most early hype. He already has an offfer from wisconsin and interest from notre dame and Michigan. Deserow Says Junior Dom Maloney is also in the mix at Quarterback.

“We are fortunate that we have two good quarterbacks,” Deserow Said. “Dom Maloney Played Quite a bit Last Year as a sophomore. He was able to start a game for us.”

Sophomore Wide Receiver Jordan McKinley Has Offers from Iowa State, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Like Lee, he has not played in a varyity game.

Deserow is excited about sophomore running backs Carmelo Maldonado and Jayden Garrett.

“Those Two Are Very Talent,” Deserow Said. “Maldonado’s Brother played for us. We have a nice history with their family. We are also have a good senior back in owen lamb.

Northwestern Coach Formar Fitzgerald is back as a volunteer coach for another season. His Youngest Son, Brendan, Is A Sophomore Wide Receiver on the Varsity.

“We’ve been Building a Brotherhood Throughout the Summer,” Calcutt Said. “It is a really special Group of Guys. I Can’t Wait to See What the Season Brings US.”

Loyola doesn’t have a Week 2 game scheduled, and desire didn’t seem confident he was? Teams don’t see much upside in playing the Ramblers, evening the team is full of sophomores. That’s Certainly a compliment to the program’s Coaching Staff and SuccessFul History.

“Going for a Four-Peat Is Historic,” Calcutt Said.

“But those last three seasona are bee bend.
