Coach’s Comment: “We may not be the biggest, the fastest or the household names, but the list of players named are all varsity caliber. We will be deep in the skill positions. Our offensive and defense lines are young , but we are a team of workers and got really strong over the summer. Zack Sangermano is a first-year football player, but has outworked everyone at camp. He will make an impact. We will do the little things right and as always we have tough kids in Salem. Our competition is extremely talented so it will be tough every week, but these kids will fight until the end.”
