Outlook: After a 9-3 season last year, coach Gary Grubbs' team is not deep, but they are talented. Yellow Jacket QB Austin Grubbs, and RBs Chris Pando and Brandon Arnsworth return as do Tight Ends Trevor Leeson and Andy Berzoza. Grubbs thinks the team will be improved, but he notes that health and line play are huge keys to making it a successful year. Last year's JV team was 9-1, and those players are going to need to provide depth for a great season.
