Andy Brown. Caden May. Jacob Vail. Bailey Matheson. Four of just 18 that this year’s SOV football program will miss and have to replace–a large task at hand to say the least.

But for fifth year head coach Charles Brown, it’s not an impossible task.

“We’re going to be filling in seven positions on both sides of the ball with some people who didn’t play a whole bunch of varsity ball,” said Brown. “So that’s going to be the interesting thing– how do they come in and how do they up their game to the varsity level? This is going to be their first opportunity. And they’re excited, but it’s a whole different ball game, and they’re going to find that out.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
