Key Newcomers
Still finding that out

What does your offense need to improve on from last year? 
The keys to our success on offense this year will be to learn a new system and be able to execute on a consistent basis. The terminology is completely new. In saying that, Hempfield plans to be a balanced attack that gets its playmakers the ball.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year 
The keys to defense this year will be to learn a new system with new terminology. Defensively, our goal is to run to the football. We have to do a better job of tackling in space and limiting big play opportunities.
