The slate is wiped clean, and optimism fills the air as a new season begins at Wyoming High School.
The Wolves, who went 1-6 in conference play, exited the OK-Green and formed the new OK-Gold with Forest Hills Central (D-3 state champion last year), Unity Christian and perennial state title contender South Christian, along with Zeeland East and West.
Wyoming finished the 2023 season with an overall record of 1-8 under fourth-year Coach Carlton Brewster. The Ferris State University product will look to get his squad on track for the 2024 campaign.
“It will be a very competitive league with Forest Hills Central and South Christian,” Brewster said. “We have our hands full, but we are looking forward to getting better daily.”
The Wolves return quarterback Jay Johnson and bruising running back Jack Terveen to an offense that averaged 12.4 points per game.
Terveen averaged 6.5 yards per carry and looks to build off of his junior season which was marred by an early injury.
Terveen will be led by his offensive line anchored by senior duo CJ Anderson and Jackson Lamrouex.
Johnson only attempted 17 passes last season as he split time with Antwan Brown Jr., but also will use his legs in the run-first Wolves offense.
“These seniors are the heart of this team,” Brewster explained. “We also have others that are looking to step up.”
Junior Moses Brown looks to form a one-two punch with Terveen in the Wolves backfield. Senior receiver Julian Toscano also will be a key to the offense.
“Our goal is to focus on the everyday grind to get better each day,” Brewster said. “We need to focus on the small things. We’ve been getting better daily.”
Wyoming travels to Sparta for its season opener Thursday, Aug. 29, at 7 p.m.
