A: They are a great group of kids who are fun to be around. They show up every day ready to work and get better.
A: Playing tough and physically for four quarters. If we don’t catch all of the right breaks at first, we must be able to lock in and keep working.
A: Nick Sullivan (WR/LB), Dawson Jones (WR/DB), Christian Doty (WR), Jaden Carmichael (QB/LB), and Joseph Singerle (OL).
A: We are very athletic, and our kids want to work.
A: Last year, we had a young football team and only graduated 14 seniors. Hopefully, some of that playing time will translate this year and help the game slow down.
A: We have to build depth at all positions.
A: JD Dunbar will be our defensive coordinator and hopefully help the kids play with an edge on the defensive side of the ball. We want to be tough and physical at the point of contact and win the one-on-one battles.
A: We have some guys who can move. We need to make sure that we get them to move in the right direction at the right time and can get them the football.

With our schedule this fall, we will definitely be put to the test each week. So, what I want to see the most is for our kids to go out and compete. If we can get out there and play smart, physical football, we will have opportunities to win games and make a playoff run.
