What are your expectations for your team this year? *
We will be a young team having lost 25 seniors last season, but high expectations remain. We believe we have a talented group that was stuck behind that monster senior class that had many 2,3, and 4 year starters. The goal every year is get better week to week, and compete for titles.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success? *
We believe we have a great group of skill guys, that have contributed in the past. But we lost 6 of the top 7 lineman from last year. The guys stepping in will be inexperienced, but we believe they can be another dominant group once they come together.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success? *
We have 3 guys who have started since they were sophomores on defense in Nevin, Amory, and Tommy. We feel very confident in these guys stepping up along with Julian to be leaders for the next group of starters. How quickly the new starters learn the scheme will be the key in determing the success of the defense this year.

Players we should keep an eye on? 
TE Aiden Mack has numerous D1 offers, and will be a bigger focus on offense and defense this year. He is a physical player, who is a devasting blocker in the run game.

HB/CB/PR/KR Amory Thompson is a big play guy in all phases of the game, and will be a big time factor in the success of the team this year. The more we get the ball in his hands, the better off we will be.

DT/OT J’Ven Williams, is a big boy who is an outstanding athlete. This kid has all the potential in the world, and we excpect him to be a dominant force on both lines of scrimmage.

CB/HB/WR Neving Carter: 3 year starter on defense who will also contribute on the offensive side this year either at HB or WR. He is a that long CB that college coaches look for.

NG/C/G Juliam DiMaio: he is the veteran lineman returning on both sides of the line. He will take up the leadership role of this group. Hard worker, who is willing to do whatever is best for the team.

FB/LB Tommy Grabowski: one of the most underated players in the league. Has been overshadowed by Evan Niedrowski the last 2 years, but we know the type of player Tommy is on both sides of the ball. Tommy will be taking over Evans spot at FB, and moving from his Will LB over to Mack in place of Evan as well.
