Key Stats: 12-2 (Back-to-Back District Championships)

2020 Offensive Outlook: We have several skilled guys running around with experience, but we lost a large part of our offensive line. We have some athletes that are capable of stepping in and picking up where their predecessors left off, and the coaching staff is excited to see who decides to take that step!

2020 Defensive Outlook: Our defense is in the same situation as our offense. A lot of skilled kids back there, but not much experience in our front four! Can’t wait to see some new faces take over up front and continue in the Warrior tradition!

2020 Special Teams Outlook: We have had exceptional place kickers over the last several years. I look for Dillon Young and Isaiah Fenner to continue that tradition. Our punt/kick returners ( Moll/Young/Fenner) can take it to the house every time they touch the ball! Maddix Dalena will most likely handle punting duties.
