Team chemistry is one of those X-factors of any team in any sport. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t.
In high school football, team chemistry often is borne of a group of players who have played together for a long time, since youth football.
And that’s the scenario in Summit this season, which started last year 0-3, then went 6-2 the rest of the way. It was a great turnaround, but now the challenge is to start out 2023 as hot as they finished.
They’ll attempt to do it with a veteran, tight-knit group. Senior middle linebacker Tyler Kessell will anchor the defense, after recording 120 tackles last season as a junior, while the offense will have to find a new quarterback and new top runningback.
