2023 Outlook: For the 2023 season we expect to be much more competitive. We bring back a great group of experienced seniors as well as a skilled group of juniors/sophomores. Our schedule allows us to compete with more teams our size (Morrisville, George School, Jenkintown, ANC) with the addition of also facing a few 4A/5A schools. (Lower Moreland, Upper Moreland, Harriton, Hatboro Horsham)

Offense: This year on offense we return 6 of our 11 starters from last year. We bring back three of our starting offensive linemen. All of our running backs this year also had the game-time experience last year. Our offensive line is the identity of our team, and we look to put a good skill group behind them in order to succeed on the offensive side this year.

Defense: Defensively, we return 8 of our 11 starters from last year. On the defensive side, we look to play fast and physical and create turnovers. We stress open-field tackling, as well as maintaining gap responsibility.
