Only two starters return on offense, and four return across the line on defense; skill position talent is not back. A new starting QB and RB must be located, and though the team is eager to learn, it will be a very young group that likely must go through normal growing pains before winning. Last year's JV squad went 5-5. Enrollment at the school is down, and getting the program back to winning ways on a consistent basis will take a little time.
