Impact Player for Havana:
Havana head coach Kolton Hammond Hammond has a handful of returning two way starters back for thr 2023 season who will be asked to provide major leadership and production this fall. Keep an eye on senior OL/DL McGuire Martindale who is a two way senior starter who will be asked to play at a very high level on both sides of the football this fall.
EDGY's Quick Take on the 2023 Havana Ducks:
Havana head coach Kolton Hammond was able to take the Ducks program over in 2022 and was able to make progress in his first season. Havana wound up positing a 4-5 record in 2022 and just missed out on the 2022 IHSA state playoff field. The program improved from a 1-8 record in 2021 to 4-5 in 2022 and welcome back a nice core of returning starters for the 2023 season.
The biggest question I see for Havana in 2023? Can the Ducks raise it's overall game and level of play and contend against the higher profile programs on the schedule in 2023? The Ducks have a good chance at becoming a nice sleeper team to watch in 2023 and I can see them wind up as a 6-3/5-4 caliber team.
