Outlook: Coach Rusty Buzzard will again count on Colton Buzzard to lead the Bluecats. Last year, Buzzard rushed for more than 1,000 yards while scampering for 14 TDs and passing for nearly 1,300 yards, connecting on 17 TD passes. Senior WR Dalton DeLeon will be a top target. When it's time to pound the ball on the ground, Glen Edington and Stanley Cole will be the primary ball carriers. The team doesn't have great depth, but they do have solid talent in important spots. They are also in a new district. Anything is possible.
