A: Staying healthy.
A: Brody Cooper (QB/DB), Zeke Wheeler (RB/LB), Landon Williams (OL/LB), Zac Counts (OL/DL), and Andrew Buffington (OL/DL).
A: This team doesn’t have any selfishness right now. They are all focused on the team, and that is evident by how hard they worked in the off-season.
A: That answer will always be depth. We cannot afford injuries.
A: We were region runner-up and hosted a playoff game, so hopefully we can take the next step and play a few weeks in November.
A: We can play with anyone on our schedule. I think our kids learned that last year.
A: No.
A: Faster than our opponents think we are, and slower than we want to be.

I think we can win the region. We have a group of kids who are eager to prove they can play this game well. Our kids have bought into our program, and they have worked hard. We are stronger now than we were at this time last year. The most exciting thing for me this year is how together this group seems to be. We don’t have any stat chasers or crybabies. If we can stay healthy, we can be a playoff team.
