What are your expectations for your team this year?
We have a great group led by a very vocal and driven senior class. We expect to compete in a very tough Ches Mont American. Our schedule will be tough and we just want to get better each week.
When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
The key offensively is how our OL unit comes together. There is a lot of experience in the group and we are deep there so the competition each practice up front should be excellent.
When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
The defensive group has loads of experience and should be the strength of the team. Even though we only return 6 starters there are experienced guys at every level of the defense.
