The Chieftains selected Captains before pictured day on Thursday. Four Seniors were selected to captain this year's squad.
SR MLB/FB Steve Call started 2002 at Linebacker while splitting snaps with Josh Bailey at Fullback. Was named to the All-SEOAL and All-SE District Football teams following outstanding Junior year. Steve is a smart football player who is capable of making big plays. He leads by example and would be an asset to any football team.
SR RB Austin Rohr started all 10 games at TB in 2002 after sitting out his Sophomore season. Austin rushed for over 1300 yards on his way to being name All-SEOAL and All SE-District. Austin has great speed and qualified for the state meet in the 200 M this last spring. Austin plays hard on every down, and should be a good leader in 2003.
SR LB Josh Sturgell started all 10 games out outside linebacker in 2002 after lettering on Special Teams as a Sophomore in 2001. Josh led the team in Interceptions (2) and was in the top 5 in tackles. Josh moved to LB from DE last year, and was the teams most consistant defender all season. Josh has a great attitude in works hard on and off the field.
SR OG Jesse Herring made the biggest stride of any player over the offseason since last year. Jesse played on special teams a year ago, hit the weight room hard and earned a starting spot on the offensive line. Jesse has been a great leader in the weightroom, and should do a great job in 2003.
