Hunter Hurtado leads Medina Valley to strong start in Flexbone offense

Medina Valley quarterback Hunter Hurtado has propelled the team to a 6-0 record, leading the Panthers' triple-option Flexbone offense effectively. The Panthers' rushing attack has posted impressive numbers, averaging 368.2 yards per game. This marks their best start since 2001, and they are currently ranked ninth in the Dave Campbell's Texas Football Class 5A Division I rankings. The shift to the Flexbone occurred after coach Andrew Britt's initial plan to blend spread and option offenses did not yield adequate results. With a significant portion of the offense relying on misdirection, the Panthers have navigated tough competition, including wins against Class 6A teams Churchill and Warren.
