Outlook: Enrollment is down with a new school opening in the area. In many ways, the season will depend upon how players from last year's 6-4 JV team and other newcomers learn the varsity system. Incoming QB Chris Collins will play behind center and should have a very good group of WRs in D.J. Gipson, Jordan Wright, and C.J. MeElroy. A starting RB must come to the forefront. Depth on the line may be a problem with only Jared Biard returning. If players adjust to varsity competition quickly, coach Darrell Warden's Wildcats will compete and could be improved.
