2023 Outlook:
Offense: We lost 90% of our offensive output with our graduating skill players. We feel the strength of our offense will be our offensive line. We return three starters and Sam Frame Jr. who started as a sophomore.
Our success will depend upon our skilled players who will be newcomers. Our quarterback Ayden Oswald had a great off-season and has experience at the position from last season.
We will rely heavily on three running backs: Jack Tosh, Grady Newhard, and Resse Lipsky. We expect to be a heavy run team with the experience of our offensive line.
Defense: We lost several multi years starters that will be tough to replace. We feel confident in our front seven. We have several players returning will significant playing time.
Our Secondary has two starters returning and we have several skill players who will compete for time.
Special Team: We return Chase Moffitt for kickoffs and as our field goal kicker. Chase gives us a lot of options as a kicker. He can kick consistently to the five-yard line. But he is also very good at mortar kicks as well.
Bailey Smith returns as our punter and has the strongest leg that I can recall as a coach. He is currently being recruited as a collegiate punter. He had several punts that were plus 40 for us last year.
Overall: We feel that we play the toughest schedule out of any A or AA school in District XI. If we are able to qualify for the District XI playoffs, we feel we are as good as anyone else who will qualify.
