What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We need to maintain mental discipline and be more explosive throughout the entire game. We had a lot of missed opportunities in 2019 due to having mental errors in critical situations. Turnovers and penalties are avoidable through sound practices and preparation.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year *
We need to limit big plays which put us in bad situations offensively due to mental errors.
