Kelso Hilanders
2009 record: 6-3, 3-2 4A GSHL
Coach: Pat Hymes
Key players: Jared O’Neil, sr., rb/lb; Riley Miller, sr., rb/db; Slate Miller, jr., rb/db; Makaio Mobbs, sr., qb; Gage Townsend, sr., te/dl; Blake Pettit, sr., dl; Ben Warthen, sr., db; Josh Custer, sr., ol/.b; Eric McDaniel, sr., ol/dl; Cedrique Chaney, sr., wr/db.
Team outlook: The Hilanders bring a brand new offensive line to their return to the 3A GSHL. How quickly the five new starters develop will determine the team’s success. Kelso finished tied for second last season in the 4A GSHL, just missing a playoff berth. With (most likely) three berths in the 3A GSHL, the Hilanders hope to be playing into November. “We’ll have to play pretty well to get one of those spots,” Hymes old the (Longview) Daily News.
