Final Comments:
We return 9 starters on both sides of the ball. We expect our OL to be our strength and we have some very athletic young players that we hope will get better as the year progresses. Our greatest weakness is depth at this point as we try to develop some more guys who can play for us. We are excited to be returning to the NWC this season. It is a very competitive league with a lot of good football teams.
