Coach’s Comments:
“We will be young, but there is some experience. We must stay healthy – we were plagued by injuries and played four freshmen late in the year. We are going back to the Wing T because it fits our personnel. It will come down to our offensive line. The schedule will be more realistic for us and we have had 40 kids showing up so far. There is a good junior class and it’s a good group to be around.” – Head Coach Mike McKeown
