Q & A With Coach Aaron Nance
Q. How would you characterize this year’s team?
A. Our roster is full of great young men that play really well together. We have several guys stepping into new roles with some big shoes to fill.
Q. What will be the keys to your success?
A. Playing physical football on both lines of scrimmage. It will be extremely important for us to establish a running game on offense and be able to stop the run game on defense.
Q. Who will be your key leaders on the team?
A. Zane Liffick, Kireese Willis, and Trey Crawford.
Q. What are your biggest reasons for optimism?
A. A dynamic group of skill players that are capable of making plays in all phases of the game.
Q. What will keep you up at night?
A. Depth is going to be a key issue for our team. Making the move up to 5A can really expose some depth issues late in the year, especially when teams in our region will most likely dress more players on Friday night.
Q. What can you build on from last year?
A. Our team went deep into the playoffs last year, which is always great experience for your players. Playoff football has a different feel, and it helps knowing that our kids have a lot of experience playing in the post season.
Q. Will we see anything different this year?
A. New offensive coordinator Adron Rebstock and defensive coordinator Gerald Jones have worked tirelessly this off-season to find the best schemes to fit our personnel. Establishing the run game and stopping the run will be the main focus for our team.
