Tenzen Lewis was 7 of 11 extra points
2021 Offensive Outlook: Returning speedsters Kody Cresswell and Tyler Rozanski will lead the rushing attack as well as sophomore Hunter Patterson. Both Owen Lisk and Stephen Jervis will both see time at QB as they both bring competitiveness to the position. We return both starting wide receivers and 2x All Regional and All-State selection R.J. Schirg will anchor the offensive line. We will be playing with some younger players up front. Though they are young the potential is there for this to be a very good group.
2021 Defensive Outlook: Defensively, we return our entire secondary and 3 of our 4 defensive linemen. We need to replace both starting inside linebackers. Kody Cresswell brings experience to the linebacker corps.
2021 Special Teams Outlook: All of our kickers and punter bring with them game experience as do our kickoff returners and punt returners. Sr newcomer Xander Ball, who is a converted soccer player could see action as a placekicker as well.
