And that's not easy to replace. We've moved some people over from the defensive line and there is still some adjustments to be made with that. Hopefully we'll have things straightened out soon. But beyond that Amite is as solid as ever throughout its roster as it stares down one of toughest schedules in the area, which includes South Pike, St. Helena, St. James, Assumption, and Opelousas in the first five weeks before meeting District 9-3A rival Independence in week six. The Tigers will have likely regained the services of all-everything tailback LaBrandon Toefield by that game.
Independence is still a great team.
It's a rivalry no matter what, but we'll have to survive the first five if we want to win that game. But that doesn't mean Currier is looking past anyone else in the district. Of course, Albany and Live Oak both have new coaches so it takes a while to adjust, but the district as a whole is getting better. Then again, so is Amite. With some preseason pollsters putting them as high as second in the state in 3A, Currier is doing his best to keep his team's feet firmly planted on the ground.
