Melissa brings back 15 of 22 starters.
It's great that baseball has had so much success; however, the state of the football and other boys' programs is certainly sad. Two of the last three football seasons have been below .500 and I don't see how they avoid another below .500 season this year; I think at best they will go 4-6.
Too bad they will be in D1 with Carthage next year. Carthage’s incoming juniors this year might be better overall then the seniors that just graduated. The Dawgs will be scary good again in 2019. But we will have to wait and see about 2018. Might have some growing pains.
I hope some of Argyle's really good baseball players with DI verbals will play this season. Brendan Dixon and Dillon Carter are star players in football, but have baseball verbals. Our QB Hayden Clearman is a great player on defense as well as at the QB position, but he's working on getting a baseball scholarship. There's a few others in the same boat. Argyle will be Argyle and play great with whoever they have......but it helps to have some of these seasoned veterans returning.....they are key pieces to the team. And now this season Argyle will be tested in Region II big time.....and even in preseason big time.
It'd be a shame if they didn't play football their senior years. I would understand the logic, and I can't say I would blame them, but, as good as they are, I imagine they would regret not playing. But like you said, regal, Argyle is such that they'll find kids to fill the holes, should those seniors choose not to play.
I'd understand if they wanted to forgo football to avoid potentially jeopardizing their baseball careers because of an injury. Braxton decided to do that this past season at Robinson and with a $1.38 MM MLB draft slot I think he made a good decision, but time will certainly tell.
In Braxton's case and in Austin Aune's case......are you gonna turn down a Million??? Nope....even if you don't make it, you made it. Now you have options you didn't have before even if you don't make it.
