And another question, the Rice kid you guys have, is it the same one that played QB 2 years ago? Or does he have a brother? It’s probably just me but it seems like the kid is starting his 7th year. I can’t find the stats where is says the first name to see if it’s the same kid. Either one talented kid or his dad sired one heck of a set of brothers

Grant Rice started two years at quarterback and graduated last year. Rice is a very common last name in Johnson County but I'm not sure whether Ryan Rice is related to Grant. Riley Preece started at quarterback for four years before Grant took over as a junior. I think that Grant was a four year starter on defense. Preece started on both JC state championship teams, as a freshman and as a senior..

Freshman Dalton Matney is Jim Matney's son and is getting a lot of playing time. Jacob Grimm is the starting quarterback this season but Dalton may be starting QB before he graduates. McCoart and Conley will probably be the starting running backs next season, although Logan Music may break into the starting lineup on offense. Chase Price, the fullback, is a senior and I'm not sure who will replace him next season. I'm pretty sure that JC will find a way to get McCoart, Conley, and Music all into the starting offense next season.
