Coach’s Comments: 

“Last year, teams didn’t expect us to go far. We were successful, the culture was good, the kids bought in, and have been working hard. We have experience, but expectations change. We will rely on seniors to be the leaders. I like what we have with depth at linebacker, and we have a good quarterback.” – Head Coach Colin Hewko
