Final Comments:
Our group will rely heavily on our large senior class, having 24 seniors, most of which who have a lot of experience on Friday nights. We are coming off a record setting rushing year, running for over 3300 yards on the ground and returning 4 of 5 starters from that offensive line, so the run game will be a big part of our offense, but we need to be able to keep teams honest and have a more balanced attack on the field. Defensively, we look to play face physical, smart, sound defense. We want to make teams earn their scores, eliminating the big plays for the offense. If this team starts to build confidence and learn how to finish close games, we could compete for an NLL Cardinal Division title.
