SUMMARY: Clint Hoots is entering his 10th year as head coach of the IDW AHS Indians, sponsored by Southern Housing. After eight successful seasons with playoff appearances, the team saw its first losing record since 2005 last year, finishing 3-8. The team was young, consisting mainly of freshmen and sophomores. This year, the Indians have eight returning starters on defense and nine on offense, bringing more experience. Senior linebacker Bryson Walters and quarterback John Austin Wood are crucial leaders. Hoots is optimistic about the team's experience and hunger as they prepare to start the 2024 season against the New Hope Trojans.

Last season the Itawamba Indians had their first losing season since 2005. This year they bring a ton of experience back as they look to get back on the winning track.
