After three straight 20-win seasons, DeKalb loses almost all its production

The Barbs may face one of their most challenging seasons in recent years. All five starters from last year are gone, including three-time Daily Chronicle player of the year Sean Reynolds . The team also loses Davon Grant , a big inside presence who is graduating early to attend spring football camp with Illinois. Most of the team’s key rotational players also graduated.

Bryan Miller, Myles Newman and Derrion Straughter will see bigger roles this year if the Barbs seek a third straight regional title and fourth straight 20-win season.

The Barbs haven’t won less than 20 games in a full season since a 19-13 mark in 2018-19 and last had a losing record in 2013-14, finishing 14-18.
