OFFENSE
After making a run in the Class A playoffs last season, Dibble and head coach Richard Norman are excited to get back on the field and see what this team can accomplish. “Coming off of one of the best seasons in Dibble over the last 30 years, we are excited for what this current team brings to the table. We arem returning some key players and have a great young group to add to them. We are again hoping to push for a district title and continue the success that last season had,” said Norman. Five starters are back on offense including Austin Maddox (6-1, 165, Sr.) who caught 38 passes for 832 yards and eight touchdowns last year. Maddox set school records last season in receiving and receiving TDs. Quarterback Blake Creswell (5-10, 170, Jr.) had a great sophomore campaign throwing for 1,640 yards and 21 TDs on 112 receptions. The pair cause problems for defenses that must account for the rest of the receiving corps which includes Trey Ott (6-2, 195, Sr.), Tucker Skipper (5-8, 160, Jr.), and Reese Merrick (6-3, 200, Jr.). Ott accounted for 283 yards and seven scores last season and Skipper will likely see some time at running back. Grady Corbin (5-11, 200, Sr.) rushed for 398 yards on 36 carries, scoring eight TDs. Corbin will handle most of the running duties for the Demons.
DEFENSE
Corbin will continue being a factor for the Demons on the defensive side of the ball at linebacker. Wyatt Malchaski (6-1, 200, So.) joins Corbin at linebacker giving the Demons a pair of downhill, old-school hitters at the second level. Playing behind the linebackers are Maddox and Ed Perez (5-10, 165, Sr.). Both Maddox and Perez have excellent speed and a nose for the ball. The defensive line features two bookend defensive ends in Tucker Pickard (6-0, 235, Sr.), and Tucker Bloodworth (6-4, 225, Sr.). The ends understand the job in the 3-4 defense the Demons will utilize this season. The coaching staff includes Sammy Sharp, Aubrey Riddle, Austin Link, and James Albertson. The Demons are in the new Class A-I district 2 this season.
