Coach’s Comment: “The No. 1 goal for us coming in to the season is to increase the number of players in the program. We have 90-plus signed up on paper, which is a good start. We have assembled a strong staff of 14 coaches (five who have been head coaches in the past). We will be fundamentally sound and it all starts and ends with discipline. We will be looking to upperclassmen for strong leadership as the culture of the program changes. The hope is to be playing competitive football, but we have a lot of work to do. We look forward to our schedule with local rivalries including Dover and Portsmouth.”
