What are your expectations for your team this year?
Our Key Returners have to be our best football players as we find some key starters and build some depth at a lot of positions — if we can do this and not allow big plays on defense and control the football on offense without turning it over – I would expect us to be in the District 1 hunt for the playoffs
When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
Running the Football and the play action pass.
When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
Pressure and getting 11 hats on the ball every play
