Final Comments:
Strengths - experienced skill players to lead on the offensive side of the ball, explosive play ability from a multitude of players.

Weaknesses - Inexperience on the offensive line.

Tough non-conference schedule - @ Canfield, @ Woodridge, vs. Girard, @ Ridgewood, vs. Howland - should prepare us for league play.
 
 
Seemed like a lot of WB players in attendance for the Salem/Canfield scrimmage Friday. Should be a good match up, looking forward to it.
