What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We look forward to picking up where we left off last season. However, it will take some time to make up for the loss of Koby Bailey, Caleb Burke, and Trevor Tustin in the passing game. Those three combined to account for 340 receptions and 105 TD’s over the past several seasons.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year
We have a strong nucleus back from last season’s team. However, we did lose our leading tackler, Lucas Sabol, to graduation. Like any other season, the key to success will be stopping the run and forcing teams to throw the ball.
