2024 Outlook:
Offense: The Knights will be a balanced attack on offense. We have a lot of guys back who got a good amount of playing time in varsity games as well as a district one playoff game. That experience should carry over. The ceiling is high.

Defense: The Knights have experience coming back at all three levels. Up front with our DL in the middle with our LB’s and in the back with our secondary. There is a good mix at all three areas of our defense with veteran leaders and newcomers.

Special Team: The Knights have the best kicker in the entire state of PA. Ryan Bocklet is going to be a “weapon” for us.
