The Englewood Rams haven’t been one of the top programs in the area, but head coach Marcus Miller is hoping to change that.
Going into his fifth year at Englewood, he says the team is on its way up, but is losing key players.
“We had our best season since the mid 2000’s and our seniors played a big part in that, but also left it with some big holes to fill. This year we are going to rely on a lot of different guys at different positions to get the job done instead of spots being dominated by one guy like they have in the past. “
The Rams are losing leading rusher and passer KJ Jefferson and leading receiver Jameel Padegett, which will certainly hamper the offense going into this year. However, they are keeping their leading tackler, Tavian Whitehead, and their interception leader, DB Jordan Davis, who has a 3.66 GPA as well.
Overall, the Rams are returning six offensive starters and four defensive starters. They have also lost two offensive coaches, but have brought in some young coaches that hope to make an immediate impact.
Coach Miller’s three goals for the season? “Compete every night, end the season above .500, and make the playoffs.”
He also says that there is no lack of motivation in this year’s team.
