The Apollo Eagles have some holes to fill this season but head coach Michael Beehler feels good about his group heading into the 2022 season.  He says he and the coaching staff do a good job getting younger players ready for varsity opportunities in practice and games in case of injury and for future seasons.  Beehler says they had a good offseason with practices and feels they will get better and better each week.  Apollo opened their season with a 46-0 loss in week zero last Thursday to traditional football power Hutchinson.

Key players for Apollo in 2022 include sophomore quarterback Da'Vion Jackson, senior running back Will Allenspach and sophomore receiver Maurice Brown.  Beehler says Allenspach and Brown are two players they are just trying to find ways to get the ball to. He says Allenspach was the backup quarterback last season and brings experience and leadership to this year's team.

Defensively Beehler says their top play maker is inside linebacker senior, Oakly Louangsyharaj.  He says he just flies around and makes plays.
