Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Farwell Steers
2025: 7-4-1, reached area round
FARWELL, Texas (KCBD) - The Farwell Steers are coming off a 7-4-1 season, which includes a 25-24 upset win over state-ranked Post and 56-42 over Sudan to open the playoffs. While the Steers are now moving up to 2AD1, head coach Derrick Shelton believes his players have the experience needed to carry the momentum.
“We’re going to have some holes to fill from last year for sure. The way I envision the team right now is: our strength’s are going to be up front with our O-line and D-line. We have some good experience returning up there with guys like Hunter Ruthardt and William Husted. They’ve been longtime starters for Farwell, and then, we have a guy like Nate Garcia, who was our nose guard last year, and he did a great job for us. He’s a younger guy that we’re looking to step up into a bigger role this year.”
Other key returners include: QB Kolson Allen, Eric Carrasco, Joel Chavez, Yael Jimenez, Joel Juarez, Kyler McLaran, Coy Miller, Tak Miller, Ruben Molina, Ander Pomper, and Franklin Valle.
