Okolona Football will return a young team but a team filled with athletes. Their non-region schedule is extremly stiff and will be a test for the Chieftains.

"We'll swap with anybody's non-region schedule. You can call me on that" said Head Coach Calvin Aldridge.

"I think our running backs will be great. Everett Brooks is coming back and he has led us in rushing so that should open up some things in the passing game" Aldridge added.

Okolona went 5-8 last year but did win thier first round matchup against J.F. Kennedy in the 2A playoffs.
