Strictly statistically, Tippecanoe Valley football appears to be starting from scratch in 2020.

Consider that 93% of the Vikings’ rushing yards last season were compiled by players who have since graduated, as well as 99% of the passing yards — nearly all those in the person of versatile two-year starter Tanner Trippiedi — and 71% of the receiving yards.

Over on the other side of the ball, six of the top seven tacklers have departed. Gone largely within that group are 26 of the 29 takeaways that the Valley defense racked up and 20 of the team’s 23 sacks.
