Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Sudan Hornets
2025: 8-3, made playoffs
SUDAN, Texas (KCBD) -The Sudan Hornets have continued to show off one of the most explosive offenses from across the South Plains. During last year’s 8-3 run, Sudan scored 40+ points in six of their eight wins. The only two exceptions were a 19-7 victory over Olton to open the season and a 35-6 defeat of Vega weeks later.
Hornets head coach John Cornelius says even without last year’s senior class, the team is still primed to make another playoff run.
“We’ve got a good group of guys coming back with quite a bit of experience. We lost a big senior class, but we had a lot of these guys that are going to be juniors and even seniors that had a lot of experience for us,” he said. “I think we got plenty returning on both sides of the ball and they’ve had success throughout their careers through junior high and JV, so we don’t expect anything different on the varsity level.”
Key returners include: QB Haden Provence, Edwin Arredondo, Will Armstrong, Cal Carter, Bryan Delgado, Kyler Edwards, Aiden Flores, Brian Jasso, Miles Ledbetter, Angel Martinez, Halen Ruiz, Valentin Salas, and Luis Vargas.
