Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Crosbyton Chiefs
2025: 3-7, missed playoffs
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - The Crosbyton Chiefs will look to improve from last year’s 3-7 season, which included a 29-27 victory at Plains, but ended with a 43-12 rivalry win at Ralls and a 28-22 defeat of Lockney. Chris Pritchard is taking over the Chiefs, and is already optimistic for the upcoming season.
“We’ve had some good turnouts this offseason, and we’ve been pushing a lot of discipline. One of the things that we’ve expected for this year is that ‘We is greater than me!“. That’s our team first mentality and that’s what the boys have been really pushing after, trying to make sure that we’re putting team first,” he said.” And that’s one of the biggest deals that I think where Crosbyton is really going to shine this year.”
He already speaks well of the support he’s received from the people in Crosbyton.
“The community has been great! Anything that we’ve needed, they’ve helped us and they’ve been very supportive. We’ve got a lot of people that are really backing us up. They’re really pouring into not only the community but to the school as well, and so I’m excited to see what Friday night has for us.”
Key returners include: QB/DB Michael Garcia, WR/DB Dominic Aguilera, WR/DB Autin Alamaraz, OL/DL Wyndun Banta, WR/LP Shawn Fira, RB/LB Nehemiah Marquez, RB/LB Malachija Pesina, OL/DL Ryan Salas, WR/LB Johnny Sanchez, and WR/DB Casiano Villegas.
