could also be key ball-carriers
in North Salem’s double-
wing system.
Another adjustment North
Salem will have to make this
season is at the quarterback
position.
Zac Sullivan has been the
signal-caller for the Vikings
the last two seasons and
earned an honorable mention
in 2018. Before he took over
the role, Sullivan’s brother,
Hunter, was the Vikings
quarterback from 2015 to
2016.
Justin Montero, a senior,
will step into the starting
quarterback role this fall for
North Salem, and according
to Flood, has some major
potential and will also be
a threat in North Salem’s
rushing attack.
“Justin is a real talent. It
will be a transition, but he’s
extremely athletic, and I’m
excited to see what he can do
on the fi eld,” Flood said. “He’s
a fantastic runner. I think we
would be wasting him a little
bit if we didn’t let him use his
legs.”
This 2019 North Salem
team will also feature new
players on the perimeter.
After losing their top pass-
catcher in Cris Davis last
year, junior receiver Clayton
Hinton-Welty looks to be
Montero’s top target heading
into this season. Hinton-
Welty was the backup
quarterback last year and
brings a high football I.Q. to
the receiver position.
“He’s got great hands and
great instincts. He’s a big,
physical kid out there who
really knows football,” Flood
said.
Elesban Almonte and tight
end Isaiah Rico will also
be greatly involved in the
Vikings passing attack.
It’s most likely unrealistic
for North Salem to compete
for a playoff spot in the 2019
— the Vikings haven’t had a
winning season since 2004.
But even with the roster
turnover, Flood believes that
his kids will be able to stay in
contention in the majority of
their games.
“I think this team has a
chance to be competitive, it’s
just going to be about how we
fi ll in the gaps we have,” Flood
said. “I was really pleased with
how we competed last year.
We were in most games in
the fi rst two to three quarters,
we just couldn’t hang some of
those times. It’s going to be a
matter of these kids being in
shape and being able to play a
full four quarters.”
