Coach’s Comments:  

“We have the potential to be very dynamic and very physical. This is the biggest team that I have had and we have ten players back on defense. We can be very explosive, offensively and there are several competing t get on the field. On defense, we will fly around the field.” – Head Coach Frank Fucetola
