2016 Offensive outlook: We are returning 3 offensive starters (4 on defense) and only have seven seniors on our roster. On paper, we appear to be in rebuilding mode. After our offseason participation and passion for getting better, we have high expectations. The key to our success will be the ability of our young players to adapt to the speed of a high school game. The biggest factor has never changed to the success of any offense and that is our O-Line development. We want to move the line of scrimmage.

2016 Defensive Outlook: Our defense will be built on speed and quickness. We are confident we will put a quick aggressive defense on the field. Similar to our offense, it all begins up front and the adaptability of our young players to adjust to the game.

2016 Special Teams Outlook: Our team speed and a returning place kicker has given us high hopes. We believe our special teams will be a game changer for us.
