As he does each spring, Highland Park head coach Randy Allen has named his quartet of captains for the upcoming season.
The four captains for 2017 — all key contributors on last year’s Class 5A Division I state championship team — include James Herring, John Stephen Jones, Paxton Alexander, and Thomas Shelmire.
The Scots will wrap up spring drills with the annual Blue-Gold scrimmage on May 11. They will start the regular season on Sept. 1 with a nondistrict game at Rockwall.
