2020 Offensive Outlook: Our football program has come a long way since our staff took over 4 years ago. We have a dedicated group, and had great numbers over the summer months preparing. Many of our key starters are only juniors who have started for the program for two years. We have gotten much stronger and have physically matured in some spots of the team. Our skill positional players are faster, and we are excited to get started this season.
