Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?

Sid Cox – Senior ILB. Extremely intelligent young man who will be one of the leaders of our defense.

Talon Williams – Another Senior ILB. Extremely hard working kid who’s been putting his time in the weight room during the off season.

Nick Davis – Another Senior ILB. Athletic kid who fly’s around the field and makes plays.

Chase Hickey – Senior DB/WR. Has been making plays for us all summer and beginning to find his way into the DB and WR rotation.

Johnathon McKenzie – Senior DL who has one of the best motors on the team.

What are the questions marks for this team heading into the 2018 season?

Replacing 9 on offense and 8 on defense. A lot of young starters.

Head Coach Derek Leonard says:

“We are going to be young this year. We lost a lot of Senior starters from last year’s team and we’ll have to see which guys step up into those spots.”
