⚔️ Valwood’s State Title Hopes Still Alive in 2025 ⚔️

After falling just short in last year’s GIAA Class 3A state championship game, the Valwood Valiants are back and ready to make another run. With three-year starter Tayt Snellgrove returning at QB and top target Cort Kurrie by his side, the offense should stay explosive this fall.

💪 Key Returners: Snellgrove, Kurrie, Ian Giddens, Jack Melendez, Gavin Chambers
📈 Season Prediction: 10-2
🎯 Goal: Get back to the championship

Head football coach Brad Wells believes this experienced group has what it takes to finish what they started.
