What are your expectations for your team this year?
As always the expectations are high in Downingtown. We have many returners on both sides of the ball. This will be the biggest team we have fielded in a while. If we can effectively run the ball and defend the run we will be in great shape. Our schedule is a real challenge again this year with champions from the PAC, DelVal and the Central leagues in the first month.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
As always our ability to run the ball be key.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
Run defense is always our first mission.

Players we should keep an eye on?
Elijah Ford, Ryan Waters, Will Mahmud, Jake Kucera
