Editor’s Note: This is part of a series featuring up-and-coming players from around Elmore County.
After Holtville’s less than stellar performance last season on the football field, resulting in a 4-7 overall record, second-year coach Cory Lee is looking to finish turning the program around back to the success they once knew. The Bulldogs lost major assets in skill positions like receiver Elijah Headley and running back Hunter Chavis, as well as some key defensive players like middle linebacker Conner Aplin and defensive end Anthony Chunn. Other players, however, emerged as potential leaders on the field including quarterback Jacob Burgess and running back Daishaun Zeigler. Here are more players to watch this season.Â
