I can only comment on Bloom. South, and they had heavy graduation losses, especially on the defensive side where they lost most of their front seven.
I'm not close to anyone on the team to include the staff, and also any of the relatives of players, so I don't have much information on the team. It goes without saying that with practice starting on Aug 5th, a lot more information will become available. With the size of football rosters, there are usually some transfers out and in and I haven't heard anything on that. A roster for 2024 is not available at this time, at least one that I can access.
South has talent coming up with their JV team last season going unbeaten at 7-0 with most of their wins being blowouts. The freshmen team went unbeaten also with a 5-0-1 record with the tie to Col. East at the start of the season with that score being 14-14. Just how that impacts the varsity team this coming season remains to be seen.
The Panthers lost their starting QB in Jarrin Alley and their tandem RBs in Gavin Adams and Ben Morrison. They also lost a couple of highly talented WRs in D'Andre Black and Lucas Waldon who were both speedsters.
Expect highly touted soph QB Duncan Combs to take over under center. Combs led the JV team to the unbeaten record as a freshman and drew raves as the season progressed. He's got good size and I have seen him listed at anywhere from 6'4 to 6'6 and 180 lbs as a freshman, so I will have to wait to see how they list him this season. I'm strictly guessing that junior Braylen Townsend who was the primary running back for the JV team last season, will join Combs in the starting backfield. South will have most of their offensive line returning.
South scrimmages at Lawrence Central this season and will start the season at Columbus East, so things will be a lot clearer where things stand.
