| What does your offense need to improve on from last year? |
| We need to counter the loss of some very good players from last season… We have a bunch of young talent — and we are developing them to fill in the holes left from graduation… We will have a new QB, but our whole OL returns… I am confident in our players that we will take on the challenge and improve each day throughout the summer heading into the season, ready to achieve our goals… |
| What does your defense need to improve on from last year |
| Our defense needs to be more sound in the interior and limit big plays in the secondary… We return some veteran players on defense and have a bunch of newcomers who will make a huge impact on our defensive front, linebacking corp and the secondary… |
| What are your overall thoughts on this years team? |
| We utilize a lot of players year to year so we never start over completely / I think that will be key for the 2019 team because we have a bunch of players who will take on bigger roles for us but they have some experience… our roster is pushing 70-75 players so we have depth and options in many positions… We are excited to start another season and the challenges required to defend a league title and pursue a district and state championship… |
