ODEM, Texas — The Odem Owls are looking for a bounce back year after suffering their first losing season in 13 years.
The Owls went just 1-9 in 2022 after previously being a Coastal Bend playoff staple. Coach Armando Huerta's team went 0-7 in one possession games.
Huerta says the biggest keys this offseason were focusing on red zone and 3rd down defense, as well as special teams. He hopes by tweaking those things, the Owls will at least be more competitive as they look for a return to the postseason.
Odem open the season at home Friday against Karnes City.
