Coach’s Comments:  

“I like our defense and we have three offensive linemen returning. Our quarterback also returns and we will have to adjust for the loss of Makai Mickens being out with a knee injury. The kids, including Mickens, have been very positive and we’re looking forward to the season.” – Head Coach Dave Schuman
