High school football kicks off this week, and the Sedan Blue Devils are primed for a return to the postseason.

 

Sedan is coming off a 4-5 record in 2023, but ended the season with momentum, winning three of their final four games.

Head coach Mick Holt says this year's team has been strong since the summer.

 

While many freshmen and sophomores will be asked to contribute to the Blue Devils this year, there is leadership in place. Holt says a pair of seniors will be big to the team's success.

 

Former Sedan star Brec Long has made a name for himself at the collegiate level, emerging as a captain and key piece to the Red Ravens. Holt says he has always been impressed with Long's work ethic.

 

Sedan opens the 2024 season against Oxford on Friday night.
