MARLOW —
The Marlow Outlaws will be looking to climb from the basement of the Class 3A rankings and move to a run in the playoffs behind new head coach Jeremy Gage and the experience of 17 seniors on the team.
One senior that Gage will be looking to help the Outlaws rise from the bottom of the standings is wide receiver Ethan Elroy.
“Ethan is really going to be liking a lot of the schemes that we are running this year,” Gage said. “He will be getting a lot of one-on-one coverage, and with his size and speed he can really take advantage of that.”
Getting the ball to Elroy will be sophomore quarterback Wakley Bergner. Bergner looks to improve after having a year of experience behind him, as he started his freshman season.
“Wakley started last year as a freshman and got some experience under his belt,” Gage said. “With that experience he has really started playing like a junior.”
There will be some rotation in the running game between seniors Holden Davis and Kody Harvey. Gage said that both players have shown similar styles and will perform well in the Outlaw offense.
“Both Holden and Kody could be almost made out of the same mold,” Gage said. “They are both very strong and very quick. They will be the foundation of our running game.”
Opening up holes for Harvey and Davis will be the trio of Ethan Fullerton, Dakota White and John McLeren.
“Each of those three saw a lot of playing time and are very solid players,” Gage said. “Dylan Hanley will be playing at offensive tackle and will help a lot. He did not see any playing time last year, but is looking very good for us.”
