Key Stats: We won our sixth state championship in 8 years in 2019
2020 Offensive Outlook: Our offense returns 9 starters this season. To have a good season on offense, we are going to have to rely on a lot of mental reps we have gotten throughout the virtual offseason we endured. Some things will be a little different, but at the end of the day, Archbishop Wood smashmouth football will help guide us in the direction of competing for a PCL title.
2020 Defensive Outlook: Our defense returns 7 starters and will help create an identity for the 2020 season.
2020 Special Teams Outlook: Our keys on special teams would have to be finding a reliable kicker to replace our P and Fg kickers.
