2025 Schedule
| Season Outlook |
| As always we expect to put a very competitive team on the field in 2025. We have a few keys that are important for us to push to contend for the D10 2A title
The 1st key position that needs to step up for us is the QB position. This is the 2nd year starting for our QB, Everett Cotterill and we are expecting tremendous growth from last year. We return Vinnie Feliciano as well as 3 of our top WR’s as well as 5 offensive linemen. We need Everett to expand his production. The 2nd key position that needs to step-up is our defensive unit. We played sound defense last season and with 10 returning starters we expect them to be an elite defensive group. We need to play physical, disciplined football. We need to do a good job on 1st down as well as on those 3rd & long situations and we must play well enough to create 3 and outs. With 9 defensive starters, the experience is there to have a good defensive team. The 3rd key position that needs to step-up is in our kicking game. We lost 2 all-region kickers so replacing them is no easy task, however we have good, young athletes and we are excited to watch them continue to compete during camp. If we can solidify those areas, we expect to have a competitive season Jeff Root |
