What are your expectations for your team this year?
Will have a lot of new players on both sides of the ball. I think we will get better as the season goes on and our young players gain experience. We have some tough games early, so it is important that we come out of those games healthy and ready to play a full season in the EPC.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
Be able to Move the chains and extend drives on 3rd down. Will need to be balanced on offense and we need our young players to grow up quick and adjust to the speed of Varsity football.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
We need to get off the field on 3rd downs. We need to be discipline and know our responsibilities and not try to do other players jobs. Our young players will be huge to our success.
