2025 Outlook: Our expectation is to compete for a league and district title as is every year. We have some players returning and will need some new players to step up and our experienced players to keep getting better.
Offense: It all starts up front and we like our offensive line. We will have some good competition for open spots. We also like our skill players.
Defense: We will need to add depth up front. Some of our OL play both ways and we will need some new players to step up. We will have a new face or two in the secondary.
Special Teams: Our special teams should be very strong this year. We have several players who can get the job done.
