What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
On offense we will look to continue to improve on our ability to throw the football.
What does your defense need to improve on from last year
On defense we need to create more turnovers.
What are your overall thoughts on this years team?
The Red Tornadoes return 8 starters offensively in 2019. There are a bevy of skill players returning & several younger players waiting in the wings for their chance to contribute. Balance & finding replacements for two 4-year starters in John Ayres & Billy Anderson will be key to MCA’s success offensively.
The “Red Death” defense also returns 8 players who started at least 1 game last season. Several young players saw plenty of action last year & now will need to be counted on full time for the MCA defense to continue to improve in 2019.
