What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
This past season our passing game did not live up to our expectations. We need to improve in all three phases. Pass blocking, passing accuracy, and catching the ball.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year
On defense we would like to generate more turnovers. Also replacing All-State defensive lineman Alex Rimel and 2 time all region OLB Logan Scott will be no easy task.
