2016 Outlook Overall: We will try and be competitive in the new top division of Philadelphia public league football, and compete for the Philadelphia Public League 5A championship.

Offensive Outlook: We bring back our QB and top receiver. We like our receiving corps and our RBs. We have 4 new offensive lineman that have to jell and get better each week for us to reach our goals.

Defensive Outlook: We have a pretty good LB led by Jameer Brooks and a good secondary led by Peterson Pierre. We have to find some tough DL who will cause havoc and get after the QB. IF we can find 4 guys up front to get pressure and stop the run we will be in good shape.

Special Teams Outlook: We lost arguably the best punter in the league last year in Danny Kornegay. We will be having a open competition during camp for punter, kicker, and long snapper. Esky Lopez, Peterson Pierre, Isaiah Robinson should be our kick returners and Esky will be our punt returner
