One team will have a definite advantage in the experience department when Katy Morton Ranch comes to visit Oak Ridge this weekend.

The War Eagles enter the season with high hopes and will have 17 returning starters on the field when they line up against the Mavericks at 6 p.m. on Saturday at Woodforest Bank Stadium, the season opener for both teams.

Morton Ranch, meanwhile, has only nine starters back this season, with only three returning on the offensive side of the ball. The Mavericks will also be breaking in a new quarterback, junior Jacob Taeul, who played junior varsity last season. click here for complete story
