TDFN: Marion High School Scarlett Hurricanes

MARION SCARLET HURRICANES

Coach Mike Briscoe
Marion High School

Outlook
Mike Briscoe is the new head coach at Marion after spending the previous 13 seasons as an assistant. He inherits a hard-working team that picked up some big wins last season and the group will look to build off those victories. Competition was stiff for several positions in preseason camp, including at quarterback where Matt Noe and Alex Nelson are vying for the starting job. Other players to watch include Caleb Parsons, Brock Hanna, Tyler Nicely and lineman Michael Briscoe.
