TWO MINUTE DRILL ⏱️

Ontario took an expected step back last year after losing Bodpegn Miller to graduation, but the Warriors still found their way into the Division III, Region 10 playoffs. A fourth straight trip to the postseason seems within reach given the talent coach Aaron Eckert welcomes back at the skill positions. Trey Remy and Gavin Miller split time at quarterback last year. The transfer of Sean Tanner from Mansfield Senior gives Eckert options at the quarterback position. Junior Carson Maritz returns after making a team-high 87 tackles during the regular season.
