Momentum is building in St. Marys.
After doubling their win total from four victories in 2024 to an 8-2 regular season and a Class A playoff appearance in 2025, the Blue Devils enter 2026 determined to take another step forward.
Head coach Jodi Mote begins his 25th season leading the program and believes the foundation built through St. Marys' youth and middle school system continues to pay dividends. Returning quarterback Jeremiah DeMoss is back after accounting for 19 total touchdowns as a junior, while senior leaders like Deion Mosley are focused on maintaining the work ethic that fueled last year's turnaround.
Can the Blue Devils build on their breakthrough season and make an even deeper postseason run in 2026?
