Final Comments:
The Bombers return a wealth of talent from last year's regional finalist team but loose talented All-Ohio QB Nikko Georgiou to graduation. If the young players can mature quickly and the O-line can protect a young QB, the Bombers should make some noise in the rough WRC and will be a tough out in the D3 Region 9 playoffs.
