When the Elmore County football team takes the field for the first time in 2022, first-year head coach Kyle Caldwell is hoping to see a new team focused on playing good football.

Elmore County hosts Marbury on Thursday, Aug. 18, to open the 2022 season. The Panthers are coming off an 0-10 record last year while Marbury finished last year 4-7 and lost in the first round of the playoffs.
