Key Stats: Last season was the first winning season in Pequea Valley school history.

2016 Offensive outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on offense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

A two year starter at QB returning for his third year in our offense combined with an offensive line that we have a lot of confidence in makes us optimistic that we will be able to run our offense in an effective and efficient manner.

2016 Defensive Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on defense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

Our defense has had a pretty good track record over the past two seasons. As always, pursuing the football and tackling are areas that we aim to be very good at. While we do not have a lot of returners we do feel very good about the kids that have stepped into the roles left behind by some good seniors that graduated.

2016 Special Teams Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

We have put an emphasis on our special teams over the summer and will continue that into our season. We want to take pride that our special teams are well prepared and impact the football game in meaningful ways.
