Maryville is returning alot of role-players from last year. We'll have to see which of these players will step up to fill the void left by Gaskin and Tipton. Based on last year's games, I don't think Gary Tucker will be starting unless his quickness and ball-handling has improved. He's a big body, but didn't play much last year. Maples didn't play varsity last year, so can't judge him yet, but he's pretty quick on the football field. I think early on Saxe, Koontz, and Byner will be the starters. Other positions are up for grabs. They have good coaching, as always, and that will help.
