One thing to watch for every Marion County high school football team in 2024

Sports preludes and recaps are best told in a storybook-like fashion. You have the preseason, your beginning of the story. A season may climax with a championship or win against a big rival. The ending, well, that’s a road to the state finals that everyone strives for.

The Marion County high school football season has its own set of storylines brewing. Coaching changes are signaling culture changes for several schools. It almost sounds like the beginning of a new Netflix series at times.

We’re here to give you a preview of the guiding forces ahead of the 2024 high school football season. Let’s track how these storylines evolve over the grueling 10-week season.

Belleview: A Trend in the Right Direction

With the Rattlers in the middle of an administration change, there’s time to look at a trend. Over the last five seasons, Belleview football was led by four different coaches.

The current seniors, like all-county honorable mention running back Nick Mills, have played for three coaches in three varsity seasons. Three different systems. Three different positions. Three times forced to earn the trust of a new staff member, but this year is a little different.

Belleview has a new coach in Josh Seigler, but he’s familiar with the roster after spending last season as an assistant. He saw the foundation that was laid last year; now it’s time to see what’s taking shape on the next level. Armed with a growing program, a few surprises, and a team that knows what he expects, Seigler has something the other coaches haven’t had: Continuity, and that could be the difference for a winless team returning most of its roster.
