What are your expectations for your team this year?
Losing 16 seniors is never easy, especially at a 2A school, but we have some key returning playmakers that we are excited about! Looking build off of last years success and continue to compete for a league and district championship.
When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
Our QB Jaden Newtown is returning 3yr starter. We go as Jaden goes. Along with Jaden, our running game is going to be something we lean on.
When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
Our defense is all about 11 guys focused on doing their job, and our Defensive Coordinator Dan Caffery does a fantastic job getting our kids to buy into the system. If we can buy in and do what we’re taught, we will have another successful year defensively.
