Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?
Brayden Perisho – WR/DB – Junior – Long athletic kid who will play some DB and WR for us.
Wes Moore – OL/DL – Junior – Could play quite a bit on both sides of the ball.
Jake Gunter – ILB – Junior – Has really worked hard this summer.
What are the questions marks for this team heading into the 2019 season?
Filling in for our two best WRs/playmakers from last year. Cade and Riley did a lot on both sides of the ball for us, we are going to have to be able to replace that production.
What’s something unique about this team that’s worth noting?
This will be our 10th year in the CS8.
Head Coach Derek Leonard says:
“This year might be the toughest year of this conference I think since the 2010 year. There are so many good teams. All these teams have division 1 kids and all the talent, it is going to be a competitive season this year.”
