Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?
Blake Youngeren transferred in from Pekin high school. Was a Varsity Contributor on a 7A quarterfinal team last season. Excellent Punter as well. Should be a key contributor on both sides of the ball for us.
Cohen Manness- sophomore OL/DL will fill the hole left by Blaine Halley has shown some great potential during the summer.
Head Coach says: League is going to be extremely tough and we are going to have to continue to improve to compete. Looking forward to the season and seeing how this team matures.
