Seven Rivers Christian (Lecanto) Warriors (Independent)
2013 record: 0-9
Head Coach: Rayburn Greene (1st year)
Key Players: Sterling Gardner (QB/FS, Sr.), Kelin Massullo (RB/DE, Jr.), Jimmy Worster (C/DT, Sr.), Allen Rivers (ILB/OL, Sr.), Nate Winstead (WB/OLB, Fr.), Joshua Iwanic (FB/ILB, So.)
Outlook: Greene takes over after a four-year stint at Inverness Citrus, where he went 9-2 last year with a playoff appearance. Now he’ll try and parlay that experience into success at his new school.
Depth is a concern, and the players have to play on both sides of the ball. But there were no seniors last year. Everyone is back. They also won their spring game against Citrus Park, 59-13, marking the first time that they had tasted victory in over a year. The Warriors had over 400 yards rushing in the spring game and the Warriors held their opponent to just 95 yards of total offense.
“That was a great springboard heading into the summer after going 0-9 last year,” said Greene. “If we stay focused it, and take it week by week, we can have some success this season.”
