Overview: The Weatherford Kangaroos are aiming to bounce back after a tough season that ended with a 2-8 record. Head coach Aubrey Sims is focused on changing the culture and building a more competitive team. With several key players graduating, a new wave of young talent will need to step up. Fortunately, last season’s string of injuries gave many of these underclassmen valuable game experience, something that could pay off this year as they look to turn things around
