Coach Parkinson previews the Linville Sully Hawks’ season, highlighting senior QB Connor Deals, versatile playmakers like Jack Boland and Dawson James, and a multi‑headed backfield led by Gavin Fisk. The program returns 43 players with 10 seniors, strong linemen in the trenches, and a balanced offense/defense built on athletic, multi‑position athletes.
Special teams feature Swiss exchange kicker Livio Gelma and freshman Jackson Merton. The Hawks scrimmage BCUW Friday, open Week 1 at home vs Pleasantville, and face a tough district slate (including BGM, North Mahaska, Madrid, Colfax‑Mingo and Earlham) to tune up for postseason goals.
