Offensive strengths/areas for improvement:
We will be very young on the offensive side, but as the season progresses we could be pretty good. The offensive line is a big, physical group; they just need to play a lot of football.Our QB situation could be good with some very talented young players.
Defensive strengths/areas for improvement:
We have the most experience on the defensive side of the ball and an aggressive group of yong players mixed in with returning starters. We think that defense will be our strength at the start of the season. Secondary could be pretty good with all seniors having decent experience. The defensive line also has good experience.
Special team Strengths:
All our kickers graduated, so we will be young to start with. We could have some good coverage teams and good speed.
Conference Outlook:
The Conference is wide open. Every team has a legitimate chance to win it. Everybody has a few returning starters coming back from last year, but we all lost a lot of seniors. Lewiston has their big QB coming back, so that definatley gives them the edge.
Coach's Team Summary:
We play one of the toughest schedules in the state. We may struggle at times, but we will definitely get better as the season progresses.
