What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
Top returning seniors – FB Josh Fulton, RB Tate Neiderer will see the bulk of the carries in 2020 that should prove to make a great one, two punch in the Squires Wing T Offense. Fulton rushed for over 1000 yards, while Neiderer rushed for nearly 800. The Squires will need to bolster their offensive line who will return only one lineman, 3 year starter Nick Groft. Talented Junior T Gage Wildasin will be sidelined for the 2020 Campaign due to a knee injury suffered in the District 3 Semifinal Game in 2019. Squires also need to find their starting QB for the upcoming season. Speedy Seniors Cory Hefner and Dylan Zimmerman will return at wide out.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year
Seniors Josh Fulton and Tate Neiderer will lead the defense once again at the linebacker position, making a formidable tandem while Michael Obrien returns at OLB. Nick Groft will once again bolster the defensive line, while Cory Hefner and Dylan Zimmerman return in the back end.
