What are your expectations for your team this year?
We are excited to join the merger with the Schuylkill league this year. This year we will focus on getting better each and every week and would like to focus on a return trip to the district playoffs.
When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
We need to convert 3rd downs, use the big play to our advantage, establish a good run game and compliment it with an efficient pass game while winning the turnover battle.
When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
We need to limit big plays for touchdowns while creating more turnovers and pressuring the qb.
Players we should keep an eye on?
Lucas Heydt, Matt Machalik, James Denicola, Cole Serfass
