Apaches have big shoes to fill

Southern Sports & Travel, By Darron Thomas

The Glenbrook Apaches recently completed a successful first year in AA football that included a playoff appearance, but replacing senior quarterback Preston Wise may prove to be a tall order for head coach Ryan Porter.
Wise led the Apaches to a 7-4 record and a second place finish in district 6AA, but the word quickly spread regarding the signal caller’s abilities after a 46-38 loss to Centreville in round one of the playoffs. Wise and the Apaches fought off a big first half deficit to tie the defending champs late in the game only to lose in the waning moments. In that game Wise passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns and accounted for two more touchdowns on the ground as he rushed for 70 yards.
Preston Wise definitely left his mark as the quarterback at Glenbrook. Wise amassed 2,868 all-purpose yards and 37 touchdowns this season.
