Coach’s Comment: “Last year was an unforgettable year and we look to build off of that momentum with a lot of starters returning on both sides of the ball. We have a new QB under center this year who has shown great progress running the option this summer and we will lean on our offensive line and explosive athletes on the edges early on. The East is always tough with the multitude of schemes you see week in and week out. Hopefully we can match the physicality our conference brings every week.”
