Preview: Chris Liner takes over the helm at his alma mater trying to get the Eagles bak into state title contention. He brings a FlexBone offense to Greenwood that will count on a deep group of running backs while utilizing the talents of receivers Ahmari Coats and Jaylin Tolbert. Quarterback Daylan Rapley returns, but enters a three-way battle for the position. On defense they return talent at the second and third levels, though they lost most along the line. Greenwood moves down to 4A in 2020.
