Training Camp Insider: Shawnee
Everybody seems to think Tecumseh is the big favorite in the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division, but nobody took more delight in pinning the bull’s eye on the Arrows’ back than Shawnee head coach Rick Meeks.
Meeks is good friends with Tecumseh head coach Kent Massie.
“Tecumseh, unquestionably, should win the division with what they’ve got coming back,” Meeks said. “Coach Massie’s not going to want to hear that, but that’s the truth.”
The Braves, however, are also hungry for a title, or at least their first winning season since 2005. Last year, they were a .500 team for the second time in four years and even broke even in points (196-196).
The got off to a 4-2 start, but lost three of their last four by big margins, to Tecumseh, Bellefontaine and Tippecanoe.
Meeks knows his team has a lot of question marks going into the season. One new starter they will depend on is quarterback Evan Storts.
“He’s a two-time state qualifier in wrestling,” Meeks said. “He’s a senior class president. He’s got great character. He’s skinny; he looks like a stick. But he’s tough. He’s a competitor. He can throw the ball. He can run the option. He’s a leader. The kids respect him.”
