Strengths: We have been fortunate to play in a lot of big games over the past three seasons. Hopefully those experiences will allow us to compete at a high level and compete for championships this season.
Weaknesses: We graduated an outstanding senior class. They’re leaving our program with the most wins (42) of any class to wear the red and white. This group included Landon Hall (WBL Defensive Back of the Year) and Tristan Meyer (WBL Kicking Specialist of the Year).
Coach’s Comments: “I’m really excited and confident about the upcoming season. I’m a firm believer in that good things happen to those who work hard. Our kids deserve all the credit in the world. They have been dedicated and committed during the off-season and have done everything we have asked of them. Our kids have extremely high expectations of this season and it will be important to take one play and game at a time. There will be highs and lows over the course of this season and we will need to stay patient and enjoy the journey.”
