EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Pontiac Indians

Pontiac and head coach Zach Gadbury is looking to improve upon a 2-7 record in 2023. Pontiac head coach Zach Gadbury has posted a 2-7 record in his first season in 2023, and the Indians haven't posted a winning season since 2018.

The biggest question facing Pontiac this summer?

Can the Indians begin the process of turning things round and start winning more games in 2024? Pontiac, who has been playing high school football in Illinois since 1895 has a long history and tradition and for several decades has been a state power in the mid enrollment circles. Look for the Indians to lean on 16 returning starters this season and if this team and build up some additional depth and overall numbers in the program, the support for football at Pontiac has always been strong especially if this Indians team can win some games early in 2024.
