Greenhill won more games last year than in the past six seasons combined, finishing with a 5-5 mark that was the program’s best since 2017.
As head coach K.J. Williams begins his third season with the Hornets, the turnaround might be ahead of schedule. More importantly, the foundation is entrenched to continue the upward trajectory.
“There’s an identity around our football team. To be a Greenhill football player is extremely special and we take a lot of pride in it,” Williams said. “I’m interested to see how our kids respond to our culture and the expectations.”
The Hornets might have been even better last year had they not suffered two heartbreaking losses in the final minutes. This season, they hope to contend for an SPC championship game berth, thanks to a young roster whose growing pains have provided valuable experience.
Although many of the faces are familiar, Greenhill will be led by new quarterback Ashton Gosselin, a left-handed transfer from Prosper Walnut Grove.
“He’s a leader who can really spin it, and he’s really jelled,” Williams said. “He understands football so much. He’s got moxie and does a great job of motivating people. He’s a really good decision-maker.”
