Only one defensive starter has moved on from last year's team, and that means an experienced unit that includes playmakers Logan Rowe at Corner and LBs Clay Latimer and Colin Renton. On offense, QB is a question mark with Andy McCloud as one candidate. Sophomore RB Daniel Lasco showed a lot of promise late last year. The defense needs to be the Highlanders signature group, and with a young improving offense, the Woodlands should be improved.
