The Blue Devils have already taken to the field for a series of scrimmages, using the sessions to fine‑tune tactics ahead of a season that officially begins on August 27.
A year ago the squad finished 7‑12‑2 and saw its campaign end at the hands of Belleville West in the playoffs, a result that left the coaching staff eager for redemption.
A Fresh Start
Head coach Ron Bridal says the team is now in a better place, both in terms of skill development and confidence, and he believes the players are ready to challenge for a top spot in the Western Big 6.
Bridal’s optimism is rooted in the progress he’s observed during the recent practices, where younger players have begun to step up and veterans have embraced new responsibilities.
Opening Battle
The upcoming opener at Flinn Stadium will pit Quincy against Springfield Southeast, a match that will set the tone for the weeks to come.
With the first whistle looming, the Blue Devils are poised to rewrite their narrative, turning last season’s setbacks into a springboard for future success.
