Biggest Question facing Triad this fall?
Can the Knights reload in several key spots this summer and challenge for the Mississippi Valley Conference and beyond? The Knights and veteran head coach Paul Bassler posted an impressive 5-1 record this past spring, losing only to state ranked Mascoutah in a Week 6 in the Mississippi Valley conference championship game. All eyes will be on some key positions this summer on offense (QB/RB/WR) along with needed to replace 9 graduated starters on defense. If the Knights can reload, I would fully expect them to again remain in the upper tier of the Mississippi Valley conference this fall.
Impact Player for Triad:
Senior OL Ben Hartman (6-foot-3, 275 pounds) has been drawing steady recruiting looks and attention this summer from the FCS/D2 schools and Hartman will be asked to provide leadership on and off the field.
Game to Watch this Fall? Week 6 @ Mascoutah
The Knights defeated Mascoutah in Week 3 6-0 but then lost in Week 6 40-0. Look for Triad to again have a ton on the line when they travel toMascoutah in Week 6 including a possible Mississippi Valley conference title on the line.
