What are your expectations for your team this year? 
We want to be competitive in our league and District 5. Our offensive line and front eight on defense returns a lot of experience, so those guys are going to have to lead the way while our skill guys develop

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success? 
We need to be physical and we need to be able to run the ball. Explosive plays are always a part of the offensive system as well, so we have to find guys who can get the ball into the endzone.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success? 
We want to play physical, assignment based football. Our defense returns a lot of pieces and we need to ensure that we are stout on this side of the ball.
