Coach’s Comments: 

“We return a lot of players with a good group of coachable kids. We are athletic on the outside on both sides of the ball and return all our linemen on offense and defense. We aim to get back to where we made the playoffs nine years in a row and by getting off to a good start, we can gain momentum.” – Head Coach Mike McKeown
