Agree. That kid had as much impact on the defense than any kid I've ever seen. That being said, the defense returns enough talented kids to make the overall team dangerous. I also agree that the season will come down to whether or not they can put an offense together. An average to slightly above average Snider offense, coupled with that defense, would make Snider a contender out of the north. If they can put together a Top Ten Snider offense (a long shot in my opinion), I would go as far as saying that Snider would be the favorite out of the north. Strong words for a 5A enrollment team when programs like HSE, Fishers, Noblesville, Crown Point, Westfield, Penn, and Carroll are involved. But that's how much I like the defense going into 2024.
