Coach’s Comments: 

“It’s pretty encouraging. Ten players return on defense, along with our running back. Two return on the offensive line, and we must break in a new quarterback. We won’t have to play last year’s schedule, which will help us. It is my third year here and we may be beginning to turn the corner.” – Head Coach Eddie Gurrieri
