Outlook: New coach Tim Lewis takes over an Elks program that failed to win last season. He has ten starters back on both sides of the ball and that should pay big dividends. Colton Coleman starts at QB with Chris Tucker the man at RB. Leonard Gabs will serve as the blocking back. In the trenches Jacob Miller, and Austin Huggins are solid. Tight End Tyler Farrow is capable as a blocker and pass catcher. There's only one way up for a team looking get over a tough season. Some pieces are in place.
