What are your expectations for your team this year?
Improve upon last years record and put our team in a position to make the district playoffs

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
We are a spread offense but need to be successful running the football to allow our skilled WR’s one-on-one coverage, which they need to take advantage of when the opportunities arise. The other key will be the offensive line, provided the necessary pass protection to stretch the field vertically.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
Our secondary must be able to shut down opponents’ wide receivers in man coverage. It is allowing us to dedicate more bodies to defend the run. The other key will be for our defense to disguise what we are trying to do defensively.
