| What does your offense need to improve on from last year? |
| We need to be more efficient with our play action passing game. Connor Price will be back as the QB for the third year and he brings a lot to the table. His ability to run and throw should help the offense to move the ball. We have a good group of running backs in Seth Georg, Gabe Forst, Scott Berardinell, Tyler Spaid, Jonathan Wolford, Corey Sossong. |
| What does your defense need to improve on from last year |
| We need to do a better job with stopping the big play. We must do a much better job tackling as a team. We have two big tackels in Mitchell Miko 6-4 -275 and Jake Irvin 6-0 -265 that will help the front. The line backers are a good group back in Seth Georg , Ian Thrower and Cory Sossong. The secondary return Gabe Forst and Connor Price a long with Payton Zatek. |
| What are your overall thoughts on this years team? |
| The Mustangs have a good group of players that gained a lot of experience from last season. We need to stay healthy and improve with each practice. We have the ability to have an outstanding season. We have been working hard getting ready for camp. The coaches really like the effort that we have seen all summer. Like all high school football teams, we as coaches must find the right players to fit into the spots that were left vacant by the seniors that graduated. |
