Three of Reagan’s key returners are Spencer Gilliam, Ahlayashi Reyes and Reggie Wilson.
All three are versatile athletes who can make big plays on offense and defense.
The Rattlers have won district four years in a row and will open against a tough local opponent, the Brennan Bears, Sept. 2 at Farris Stadium.
