What are your expectations for your team this year?
During the Spring the Southern Rams are looking to retool after a down year. A new coaching staff will have to get players up to speed quickly. The Rams do have a number of key returners back and look to compete in every game on their spring schedule.

What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
The Rams will have to get back to running the football. They will look to their experienced senior heavy OL to pave the way and bring back a tough down hill running game.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year *1 response
The Rams defense will rely on their returning senior DB’s to shut down opponents passing games. The Rams experienced DL will look to bring pressure up front and get after the QB.

Players we should keep an eye on?1 response
Michael Fayemi, Keshan Allen, Kevin Hernandez
