Outlook: With fifteen starters back including key skill position talent the Brahmas are well equipped for another good season. After winning nine games last year coach Jerry Long returns RB Lance Crump and QB Matt Stelzel. On defense linemen Randy Perkins, Adam Kubena, and Alex Wasek are back. Gabe Segrest leads the way at LB. Key players are in place for another run at a district championship.
