There were a couple of new football coaches in the SCOL this season. Jim “Tate” Taylor had stepped down, at Hillsboro, and long-time assistant coach Jim Horne had been elevated to the head coaching position.

But he would be faced with a challenge, as this year’s team would be led by a freshman quarterback, Chris Walker.

There isn't much time for the Hillsboro Indians to rest after their Division II SE District Sectional semifinal victory, as the red-hot Waverly Tigers stand in the way of the Tribe, with a sectional title on the line, this Friday night at 7 p.m. at Southeastern High School.
