What are your expectations for your team this year?
Even though we do not have a lot of Varsity experience, I believe we have great speed at our skill positions. If our guys up front can come through we will compete for our league and I believe qualify for play-offs. I really believe missing a whole year will work in or favor about how hungry they will be and not to take things lightly.
When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
as I stated above, if we get solid play from the guys up front, our skill and speed will cause defenses head aches. I am very fortunate to have a great O-line coach and staff and believe we will figure this out.
When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
Since we have nobody with Varsity experience back we will rely on our speed and getting all 11 hats to the football. The guys we are counting on have been in our system and believe their desire will make up for their lack of game experience.
