Silverado High School: August 2011 Archives
Silverado coach Carl Posey feels like a bit of a lone wolf in the Desert Sky League. After an offseason in which the other four schools in the league changed coaches, Posey returns for an eighth season in charge of the Hawks.
"It's been a pretty strange offseason up here," Posey said. "Usually you hear things about what other teams are doing and have a general expectation based on who is returning at coach, but you can't do that when everyone else in the league is changing coaches. It's tough to really know what to expect."
Posey also isn't sure what to expect from his team. Graduation decimated his 5-5-1 team from a year ago, as only four starters return, and a small senior class leaves the Hawks dependent on juniors and sophomores to mature quickly.
"The thing of it is that when the current senior class was freshmen, it was an extremely big class," Posey said. "We've had a lot of kids either move away or just not continue on with the program. For whatever reason, a lot of kids weren't able to stick it out and make it to this point."
