Final Comments:
The strength of the Cruisers this season is our experience. We have quite a few seniors that are going to be 3 or 4 year starters and begin this season with a ton of experience. The Cruisers have finished second in the OCC the past two seasons and we look to keep building on that and hoping to take that next step this season.
Offensively we return 4 of our 5 starting lineman from a year ago as well as our leading rusher and passer. Raishad King, Josiah Foster, and Nick Hodge should see a bulk of the carries. Raishad King was a 1,000 yard rusher last season and looks to chase the all time leading rushing title at GMHS. Baker Bowden returns at QB for his sophomore season after starting every game as a freshman. He has 4 WR's that have length and speed in Jeremiah Moore 6'3"", Josh Moore 6'3"", Jeriah Golden 6'4"", and Jaquan Ingram 6'3""
Defensively we will be lead by Jalen Joyce (3rd Team All State & Defensively Player of the Year in the OCC) and Keishaun Calhoun (Indiana University Commit) up front. Combined, they have started 65 games. The secondary returns all but one but we will look to replace two 3 year starters at Linebacker. Junior, Isaiah White has shown some really good things and looks to be a starter week 1. Jeremiah Moore and Josh Moore will play double duty and should hold down both corner positions defensively.
