CONFERENCE: South Suburban Red

HEAD COACH: Tim Zasada

2023 RECORD: 4-5

OUTLOOK: Rams head coach Tim Zasada is embarking on his 13th season at the helm, the most in program history. Last season, they fell short of a winning record, but Zasada is hoping the experience gained by his underclassman pays off in 2024.

Reavis has 10 returners across offense and defense. Quarterback Johnny Liessen will set the tone on offense, along with Jorden Brown (RB/WR) and Logan Hurtardo (WR). Protecting Liessen will be offensive linemen Andri Guiton and Izaya Larosa.

Two-way players include Malik Salameh (RB/LB) and Nick Pryor (WR/CB).

Also returning is kicker Blake Stefanek.

Defense returning starters include Terry Ferguson (DL) and Skylar O’Neal (LB).

These players as well as the rest of the Rams are eager to get on the field and show they can compete even in a competitive conference.

“The conference is tough but our off season went well and we are really excited to compete this year,” said Coach Zasada.

DID YOU KNOW? Reavis was the first area football team to practice this season, with a start date of August 12.
