Last season, Hackett Quarterback, Ethan “Superman” Slavens, completed 150 passes out of 284, threw a total of 1869 yards, and finished with 23 touchdowns made. And let us not forget the Honorable Mention All-Conference that he earned as well. With this season’s start date looming right around the corner, senior Slavens is hungry and ready for more! “I feel pretty comfortable at the quarterback position this year,” “Superman” Slavens explained. “I have a really good line protecting me.” Also returning with Slavens is a senior-heavy bevy of skilled and knowledgable teammates geared up to go out with a bang for their final season. “Our returning skill positions and big strong linemen with some attitude are definitely our biggest strengths this season.”
“The whole team gets hype and keeps high energy throughout every practice so I hope we will carry all of that onto the field on game day!” Journeying into his third season as the Hornets head coach, Michael Meador is happy with what he is seeing in his Quarterback. “Ethan’s footwork has improved this off-season. He has really worked on focusing on his timing with our routes. His understanding of the offense has grown as well. And starting most of all last year has helped him with the experience that will guide him on the field this year.”
Last year, the Sr Hornets made it to the second round of playoffs which was just what the doctor ordered to put a little extra pep in their step heading into the 2021-2022 season. “I hope the excitement from last season carries over to this year so we can make it even further,” concludes Slavens. Adding on to the enthusiasm of the Hornet’s upcoming season is a brand new turf field that got underway at the beginning of summer. “I’m excited that I get to play on the new turf field before I graduate. And with this being our senior year, we are looking forward to every game on the schedule!”
