Season outlook: Southwest has good athletes at receiver and running back and good experience defensively in the secondary for first year head coach Grant Traynowicz. While the Silver Hawks are a young team, there is some talent. Southwest will look to fill the quarterback spot, with the loss of Collin Fritton due to graduation. The junior class has a lot of talent, including two potential Division I prospects in Cole Erickson and Jackson Carpenter.

KFOR’s broadcast schedule for Southwest football: Sept. 8-6:50pm at Lincoln East, Sept. 29-6:50pm at Lincoln Southeast, Oct. 19-6:55pm vs. Millard North.
