South Allegheny’s Dashawn Carter and Eric Wehrer have seen the preseason stories and they’re fine with everyone picking the Gladiators to finish dead last in Class 3A’s Interstate Conference.
“What people don’t understand is we’re ready to do whatever it takes to win,” Carter said. “We have a new stadium, new coach, new style and we’re ready to show what we can do.”
Former Ringgold head coach Darwin Manges is now at the helm and is excited to see what his team can accomplish when put in the right situations.
“The most difficult thing was learning these kids and their skill sets and their abilities,” Manges said. “Being here since February, we were able to get started and steal some field time on nice winter days. It allowed us to build the foundation of what we want to do offensively early to get prepared for the start of camp.”
