Outlook: The offense will lose much of the line off of last year's team, but skill position talent is back and PK Ryan Clayton is a keeper (making field goals of 50 and 45 yards last season). The Defense will be reworked from last season and will take time to develop. Last years JV was good. They will need to help out the varsity--especially on Defense--for a successful season.
