NEW CASTLE, Ind. — Last season was, arguably, one of the best seasons New Castle football has ever had.
The Trojans, despite dealing with COVID-19 issues and a four-game losing streak to end the season, finished with a 5-6 record and advanced to the sectional championship for the first time in program history. There, New Castle ran into an undefeated Mt. Vernon team.
A lot of the starters from that New Castle team have graduated. William Grieser (2,300 total yards), Brandon Matney (595 receiving yards), Jamorion Taylor (317 rushing yards, 139 tackles), Matt Bell (173 tackles) and Layne Nicholson (83 tackles) were among the passing, rushing, receiving and tackle leaders from last year.
