Third-year Martin County head football coach Josh Muncy says the time has arrived for his team to turn the corner.
“We are returning a bunch of guys that have been around for a while now and understand what it’s going to take to succeed,” Muncy said.
The Cardinals, who are coming off back-to-back 2-8 seasons, return several experience players. Among those are quarterback Drake Muncy, running backs Logan Proctor and Branson Smith as well as wide receivers Dawson Jude and Ethan Smith-Mills.
Senior Sonny Gilkey will anchor the offensive line.
In addition to the road opener, the Cardinals will play at Harlan County (Sept. 6), East Ridge (Oct. 4), West Carter (Oct. 18) and Middlesboro (Nov. 1).
Home matchups include Magoffin County (Aug. 30), Phelps (Sept. 13), Bath County (Sept. 27), Shelby Valley (Oct. 11) and Prestonsburg (Oct. 25).
