2017 Outlook: We have an excellent group of leaders in this senior class. We return a solid nucleus on both sides of the football, but must replace a dynamic athlete at quarterback and two all state linemen. The junior class has great potential, and it should be exciting to see them develop. We hope to be very competitive.

Offense: Run the football and continue the development of skilled positions to aid the passing game.

Defense: To play smart, fast, disciplined, and physical.

Special Team: Put our athletes in the best position for them to be successful.
