We only have four seniors, so our ball club will consist mainly of youngsters who will have to grow up fast. And the fielding of a team of less than 40 individuals in AAAA football makes depth at all positions a real concern. But we have a really great group of kids who possess a great work ethic. We are also excited about our new field house, which will be the crown jewel of our community. All of this makes the future of ERHS athletics promising.
