Coach’s Comments: 

“This is the year we have to take a step forward. Two years ago we made the playoffs, but overachieved and last year we had a good consolation run. This year is a good opportunity and we only graduated three seniors. There is momentum and continuity. The incoming sophomore class has had success on all levels of junior football and they’re a good group to be around.” – Head Coach Kadin Booker
