Consistency has become the standard at North Marion.
The Huskies have reached at least the state quarterfinals in each of the last six seasons, and head coach Daran Hays believes another talented roster is ready to continue that tradition in 2026.
North Marion returns one of its deepest offensive lines in recent years, led by senior Gavin Floyd and First Team All-State lineman Evan Miller. Running back Brian Poindexter and versatile playmaker Blake Johnson headline the skill positions, while junior Kolson Brown prepares to take over at quarterback.
Coach Hays discusses the importance of leadership, player development, and building depth as the Huskies look to turn another strong season into a run toward the state championship game.
Can North Marion take the next step and play into December once again?
