EDGY's Preseason Thoughts on the 2024 Tremont Turks
Tremont and head coach Benny Prather posted an 0-9 record in his first season in leading the Turks football program. Tremont will lean on 9 returning starters (6 offense 3 defense) and this program has had recent success making the IHSA state playoffs in 2019 and 2021.
The biggest question facing Tremont this summer?
Can the Turks get off the 9 game losing streak from a season ago and win games in 2024? The Turks open up against a stacked Seneca team in Week 1 but should have a better chance of posting better outcomes starting in Week 2.
