Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?

Jaquez Stewart, focused on wrestling last season and did not play as a junior, is a spark plug, leader, and tough as nails

Steven Boucher, was JV QB on a good team last season, has stepped up as a Team Leader and lead by example all off-season and summer

What are the questions marks for this team heading into the 2018 season?
 
Offensive Line experience
Getting 1st year varsity players to understand what it takes mentally and physically to compete in the CS8

What’s something unique about this team that’s worth noting?

Our defense was great a season ago and pitched 4 shutouts, we have the athleticism and speed up front to be even stingier in 2018

Head Coach Roy Gully says:
“Our success will hinge upon how well we play up front and how well the role players buy in to their parts. We have as much top end talent as any team, but we need our role players to step up their games and be consistent contributors.”
