Final Comments:
We have 15 returning Lettermen and only 12 Seniors. We have 5 starters back on offense & 6 starters back on defense from last year’s team. Each year, every team is different. This year is no different with the expectations set high, with some new faces competing everyday at a high level.
We are excited for the playmakers we have back on both sides of the football. We are replacing All-Ohio quarterback Nick Petro due to graduation. We really like the progression of both quarterbacks (Drew Graybill and Caleb Duebner). We have a Division 1 commit Lukas Gilland-WR/DB (St. Francis University, PA) who is in line for a special senior season. We are starting to see the experience of our team that gained from last year really pay off so far in every aspect. Our players have made tremendous gains in our off-season weight program and on the field at this point. I feel I have one of the best coaching staffs around surrounded by Hall of Fame coaches and they have done a tremendous job every day we step on the field. We are competing at every drill in our practices and learning how to practice the right way at a rapid rate and that’s due to our players buying in and believing in their abilities while our coaching staff has been getting the job done on a daily basis. These seniors want to leave their mark on this program. We have elevated our expectations by setting lofty goals. We are excited to lead off Stark County Football and look forward to the opportunity to play Week 1 against Fairless on a Thursday Night in Magnolia.
