Key Stats: We won 13 games and set a school record. We are defending league and District One 5A champs. There are high expectations every year for our program, and our current group is looking forward to the many challenges on our schedule.

2018 Offensive Outlook: We need to replace most of our skill players and offensive production. We have two very good QB candidates and two experienced RB. We need time to develop. but our schedule is challenging. We need to find who our playmakers are this season. We will have some size and experience up front and will lean on our OL as we grow.

2018 Defensive Outlook: We should be athletic on defense and will look to bring pressure. We need to replace our best corner, both safeties, and an OLB, but we have several candidates who are more than capable. We will need to lean on the defense early in the season.

2018 Special Teams Outlook: Dominic Braithwaite is back to handle our kicking duties. He is reliable and accurate.
Declan Boyle was 1st team all league punter last year.

We have to find ways to win games through special teams in order for us to be successful.
