2016 Offensive outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on offense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)
We need to have more consistent play from our quarterback and more production from our supporting cast around Trent. We also need to have a couple young linemen step up and fill the 2 spots where we lost 2 very good players.
2016 Defensive Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on defense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)
We are very excited as we bring back 8 starters from what I feel was a very strong unit last season. Our D line needs to continue to improve from a very syrong 2015 and our linebackers led by ken Cooper need to stay aggressive and improve on their reads. We will be replacing 2 very strong DB’s (espescially Matt Meloy and his 9 picks) but the kids we have compoeteing for those jobs are very strong athletic kids.
2016 Special Teams Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year?)
Peyton had a very strong freshman season at both kicker and punter and also as a punt returner.
