SEQUOYAH — Sequoyah will find out quickly how much progress it has made.
The Eagles renew their rivalry with Inola on Aug. 28, providing an immediate measuring stick against a Longhorns program coming off a 9-3 season.
Inola graduated 18 seniors, but Sequoyah coach Rob Gilbreath still expects a difficult matchup and wants to see Sequoyah compete better than it did in last year's meeting, a 46-6 loss.
"They kind of put it on us last year, so hopefully we can compete with them this year," Gilbreath said. "They graduated heavily, but they still have that really good running back [Jayce Kent]. He was a freshman last year, and he was a game-changer. So we'll have to be able to stop him and be able to move the ball on them and have less mistakes than they do."
Cleveland presents another significant early challenge. After going through a rebuilding period of its own, Gilbreath expects the Tigers to bring a talented roster to Sequoyah.
