2022 Offensive Outlook: “We will need Ethan Eisenberg and Connor Black to continue to excel. Will need the younger guys to step up and replace some very good seniors we lost. While we lost some very good players we have a good core with varsity game experience to step in and fill in these spots.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “We have a good core back from last year’s defense. We will need to rely on our returning starters to be physical and as the same offense, we will need some of the younger kids to step in and make plays. We have many kids back that have varsity game experience and that will need to carry us to have a successful year.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “We will need to replace several very good performers on special teams in the upcoming year. There are kids that can step in and be highly effective.”
