Landen Birley ready to lead West Valley with stronger supporting cast

Landen Birley, a senior at West Valley High School, is set to lead the Rams' football team with a bolstered supporting cast this season. After a challenging junior year where he was the primary target for defenses, Birley has seen improvements in the team's offensive lineup. Key players like junior quarterback Luke Navarre, who has shown significant growth, and the addition of new talents such as sophomore receiver Kaden Haffner, are expected to distribute the defensive pressure more evenly. The team also benefits from the return of experienced players like senior running back Luke Jenkins and the addition of transfer junior running back Jace Cates. Coach Craig Dean is optimistic about the team's prospects, noting the depth and versatility in the offensive and defensive lines, which should help Birley and the team aim for a successful season.
