A year ago, Providence Christian’s football team was referred to as the “Baby Eagles” because of their youth with only two seniors on roster.

Head coach Kenny Keith said the nickname no longer applies as PCS gets ready for the 2022 season.After only returning three starters on both sides of the ball last year, 10 starters return on offense and seven on defense for the Eagles, who open the season at home this Friday against Highland Home, a Class 2A state semifinalist last season.

A year ago, Harrison Mims and Craig Pittman split the quarterback duties, though Pittman did most of the work in the second half of the season. Calvin McClintock is expected to play some at tailback with Grant Baker and Chapel Stickler at the wing back position and Tyson Smith as a back-up to Mims at fullback.

The Eagles return all four starting linebackers – Mims and Smith on the inside and Pemberton and Rylan Banner on the outside. McGhee and Wilkes will also play at inside linebacker, while Baker will play some at the outside spot. “Experience always help,” Keith said of the defense. “I have a lot of guys that have experience so I feel good that they know what to do, know where to be and know what to expect. So I feel confident because they have played a lot.”
