Key Stats: We lost most of our offensive production from 2015.

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

We must replace all of our skill players, but have 3 OL returning. Alex Gorgone should be the varsity QB. Zubillaga will play WR this year. Both Dante Graham and Jack Adams should develop into good RB.

I like our skill players but we need time to develop. The quicker we do so, the better we will be on offense.

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

We return 6 key players on defense, including three strong LB. Gill and Gardiner are the best pair of inside LB in our league Zubillaga is an excellent FS. We must replace two excellent corners and be able to cover people.

I think our defense keeps us in games while the offense develops.

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?)

Mainwaring returns as kicker. He will punt as well.

Last year we had 7 special teams TD. If we can repeat that then we will find a few wins.
