Coach’s Comments: 

“We’re excited about the upcoming season. The challenging schedule will help us, which it did last year. We return a good core; there are holes to fill, but I have confidence in the replacements. It will be competitive and hopefully create depth, and make us a good football team.: – Head Coach Ryan McCarney
