Here’s a look at the Highland Park Hornets heading into the 2024 football season. Take a listen to head coach Ty Stout in the video at the link above.

2023 resume

Head coach: Ty Stout, third year at Highland Park, 8-11. Third year overall.
2023 Record: 5-5 overall, 1-4 in District 1-2A Division I.

Returning starters 

Offense: 3
Defense: 3
Season opener: vs. Wheeler, 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30.

Players to watch 

Thomas Tran, 5-foot-9, 215-pounds, OL-DL, Sr.

Playing at left tackle, Tran has been a leader for the Hornets since the regime for head coach Ty Stout started.

Luis Morales, 6-foot-2, 160-pounds, WR-DB, Sr. 

There is expectation for Morales to step up from his junior year and play a pivotal role on both sides of the ball at receiver and in the Highland Park secondary.

Josh Marler, 5-foot-10, 195-pounds, QB, Jr.

Marler has the tough task of stepping into the big shoes left by two-year starter Brady Thompson, who graduated in May. Marler played well on the JV last season and will be looked upon to fill the QB role.
