What are your expectations for your team this year?
Our expectations are to compete for the top spot in the PCL and contend for the State Playoff spot

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
Our keys to success are having the numbers from the weight room translate onto the field. We need to establish dominance from our big guys up front.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
If our dline plays behind the LOS and allows our Lbs to play free, we will be successful
