2025 Outlook: Bringing back a lot of experience on both sides of the ball. Losing some key parts on offense but returning nearly entire offensive line and efficient QB. Young skill players are exciting and will make an impact.
Offense: Lost significant output with graduation of Angelo, Gossard and Everett. But QB (Barlup) does an excellent job running a balanced running/passing attack. Need to minimize turnovers and control the ball.
Defense: Several starters return including complete defensive line. Minimizing chunk plays and controlling the LOS will be a good prescription for East Penn.
Special Teams: Play fundamental football and eliminate big plays against. Returning key players in all spots.
