Key Stats: Ball control passing/running attack on Offense and a much improved run Defense will be the keys to a successful season this fall!

2017 Offensive Outlook: Our Offense will start with Dual Threat QB Zakee Sailsman. Playmaker Receivers, Jeremiah Beckley, Louis Aquino-Rios, Christian Manzolillo and RB Josh Kaufman will give the Cedars a very talented group of skill position players. The offensive line will be anchored by Keon Swaby, Nick Bradley and Keanu Stephens.

2017 Defensive Outlook: The key to a successful season will be the ability of Lebanon High School to stop the run! Head Coach gerry Yonchiuk will switch from running the offense to running the Defense this fall. The Cedars will have very good team speed on defense. 3 year ILB’s Josh Kaufman and Nick Bradley will lead The “D” Hard Hitting Free Safety Louis Aquino-Rios will lead the secondary. Keon Swaby and James Apple will anchor the line from the def end positions.

2017 Special Teams Outlook: Alex and Tanner Mease will give the Cedars a much needed boost in the kicking game. James Apple returns as Punter.
