2021 Outlook:

Offense: Offensively, we are an option team. So, it is obvious that we need to be successful in executing the Mid-line and Veer option. If we can do this, then the rest of our offense will open up. We know teams will be gearing up to stop Nick Singleton, so we need our line and other athletes to step up and take advantage of having someone like Nick on their team.

Defense: Defensively, we focus on gap control and swarming to the ball. We will tweak our defense week to week to stop the other team’s key players. We should have a pretty athletic and seasoned D-backfield. Our line and backers group must make their presents known upfront.

Special Team: We treat Special teams as equally important as our offense and defense. Doc Vecchio is our Special Teams coach and we preach field position. Special teams MUST put us in a situation where our Offense and Defense can succeed.
