Ricky Bowers

Quote: “Our line of scrimmage is particularly youthful and we’ve got a little bit of an injury bug, but overall this is a fun team to coach. They’re eager to learn, energetic, positive and upbeat, and they show up excited to play. The competition is stiff … We play the Kentucky state champion (Trinity) and the Alabama state champion (Madison Academy), so that should be interesting.” — Ensworth coach Ricky Bowers.
