What are your expectations for your team this year? 
We had a large graduating senior class, but we have some talented players coming up as seniors and underclassmen so I would expect that we will be competitive in our games this year. We have more consistent skill positions than we have had in the past

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success? 
We need to execute our blocks on offense and consistently catch the football when it’s thrown. We have proven running backs and a QB, but need to prove ourselves on the offensive line

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success? 
Most of our defense is returning from last year, including our defensive backs. We need to be physical up front and read our keys and react appropriately. Our guys need to think less and play fast football

Players we should keep an eye on? 
Dylan Cross,
Zach Pick,
Conner Mason,
Braylon Fantaski,
Tanner Pettingill,
Kyler Friese,
Ashton Intallura,
Tristan Probst
