Outlook: The Yoe Yoemen have fourteen starters back for coach Mike Mullins. Steven Townsend is back at QB after passing for more than 1,700 yards last season. James Wells was a 1,000 yard rusher last season and returns as the team's primary ball carrier. Brandon Freeman and Jamal Williams will be top WRs. On defense, up front Lionel Whitfield and Matthew Lopez lead the way. In the secondary, newcomers Devin Hemphill and D.D. Cooke should play immediately. The smallest school in the district should compete week in and week out.
