    LEOPOLD—Perry Central’s football team has only two full-time starters returning on offense and two on defense. But several other returnees saw extensive action last year, which makes it likely that the Commodores will reload instead of rebuilding this year.
    Travis James, who made junior all-state at tackle last year, and Hunter LaGrange are the only full-time offensive starters back. And LaGrange is switching from fullback to tailback.

    TELL CITY—The good news for Tell City’s girls golf team is it returns three starters from last year.
    The bad news is there is only one other player on the team, a senior who just started playing golf 1 1/2 weeks ago. And the Marksmen graduated their top player from last year’s 3-22 team.
    Returnees for the Marksmen are seniors Jessica Ballman and Amber Fentress and sophomore Jenny Hess.

    TELL CITY—Tell City’s boys soccer team enters its second varsity season still looking for its first win.

    Also like the grid Marksmen, the Bulldogs will field a young team as they try to achieve that goal.

    LEOPOLD—Perry Central’s volleyball team is still young, but Coach Becky Genet thinks the Commodores can be more competitive in the PLAC than in recent years.

    This year there are only two seniors and five juniors on the team’s 20-girl roster. For the second year in a row Genet will rely on two freshmen in the varsity rotation.
