DEFENSE

The Elk City defense has worked hard in the offseason and are ready to hit the field. They are going to be aggressive, create turnovers, and get the ball back to the offense. Patrolling the secondary will be a pair of defensive backs in Jaxon McArthur (5-10, 180, Sr.) and Conley Poole (5-8, 170, Jr.). Two tough players, McArthur and Poole are both athletic and know how to attack the ball, wherever it goes. Defensive lineman Tugger Mcquistion (6-2, 230, Sr.) is expected to wreak havoc on the opponents, disrupt their plans, and shut down the big plays. Assistant coaches on Maynard’s staff this season are Ken Gordon, Andy Peffer, DeMario Mattingly, Shayne Thornton, Shylar Thornton, and Dalton Cooper.
