Season Outlook

We look to build off our success from last year. We need to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the football while playing a physical brand of football. The players have been working hard this offseason with a commitment level that needs to be there to compete at the 6A level. We are excited to compete against some of the best in the WPIAL.
