What does your offense need to improve on from last year? 
We had a pretty successful offense last season. I think our key is going to find two to three consistent WR’s for the duration of the season. Joe Kerbacher is a coming off of a record breaking 2019 season. We feel good about Cruz, Baker and Hubert in the backfield. Our Offensive Line has some holes to fill but we feel confident our younger kids are ready to step up. We always stress taking care of the football, limiting mental errors and balance.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year 
Defensively we return 7 starters. Tackling is always a focus of ours. Our front 7 will be experienced. Schweitzer, Nelson, Cavallo, Hubert, Perl, Baker and Cruz are all very active on defense. We have some holes to fill in the secondary but we have some kids who can play. We are always looking to improve on getting off the field in 3rd down situations, limiting mental errors and creating turnovers. If we can improve there, we should be alright.
