Davenport Rebuilding Will Be Quick, Painless
Davenport aims for a quick rebuild under coach Paul Moon after last season’s near title. Keokuk faces a tougher task with losses of Bill Logan, Bobby Williams, and Jim Gammon, while Davenport reloads with Ott Sebolt and Bob Groves stepping into key roles. Davenport opens Nov 28 at Ottumwa, then hosts Hebron as Keokuk adapts to a smaller, quicker squad and emphasis on speed, rebound, and height absence.
