The Jonah Dubinski era is underway at Battle High School.

The former Rock Bridge and Mizzou standout took over the program in late July after Atiyyah Ellison accepted a job on the MU football staff.

Dubinski inherited a strong team from a season ago. The Spartans went 8-2 overall, including a district championship.

The team returns a ton of talent, including running backs Rickie Dunn and Gerry Marteen Jr. Plus - the Spartans added two transfers from Hickman - LJ Williams and TJ Turner.
