Outlook: Seventeen starters are back for coach Gary Carney coming off of a 10-2 season. Morris Tuck is back at QB after passing for more than 2,000 yards and 30 scores last year. Darius Dotson is back at RB and is capable of very big numbers. At WR Jordan Turner and Devante Provost are solid. On defense the secondary should be a position of strength with Stephen Downey, and Brian Smith. Another district title is possible.
