2025: 9-4, made playoffs

SEMINOLE, Texas (KCBD) -After a 9-4 finish last year, the Seminole Indians are ready to reload- even after graduating one of their most-talented senior classes in program history. While the team has had 19 victories and three playoff wins in the last two years, a district title would be their first since 2023.

Along with improvements on defense, head coach Greg Poyner expects to see the Indians’ high-octane offense produce more wins in 2026.

“We’re going to have some good seniors again, really good senior leadership, and that always makes a big difference for us. But I think if you’re talking about physical traits, I really do think it’s going to be our team’s speed,” he said. “Our secondary is going to be the fastest we’ve had, our receivers will be the fastest we’ve had, we’ve got a running back that’s really quick, really fast, probably the best running back we’ve had since we’ve been here, so I think our skill guys are going to have to carry us.”

Key returners include: QB Jacob Gonzales, Ayden Campbell, Abraham Castillo, Jaden Corrales, Greyson Dyck, TJ Danley, Tyler Friessen, Buddha Guerra, Pete Jordan, Gavyn Knelsen, Hudson Knelsen, Evan Olivas, Jack Parkey, Carson Pratt, Jaycen Robledo, and Jeremy Wright.
