Ashe County Huskies
The Huskies opened the season with a 56-7 road loss at Watauga, struggling to establish their run game while surrendering too many explosive plays defensively. QB Bryce Peters has been the offensive centerpiece, leading the team in both rushing and passing. WR Tayvn Trivett gives him a reliable downfield option, but Ashe must find consistency to avoid another slow start.
