What are your expectations for your team this year?
We lost a lot of seniors and a lot of experience from last year’s team. With the addition of the Shanksville athletes we will be gaining some players that have had a lot of experience playing for Shade. We are going to be a relatively young team but are still expecting to be very competitive.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
We have to limit mistakes and find the right pieces for an offensive line. We will have some young skill players that are going to have to mature pretty quickly.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
We are expecting our defense to be a strength of the team this year. We have to fly around and be a solid tackling football team.
