Last year, a two win campaign and winless effort in district play was not to the liking of McCaig. This year, 14 starters are back, including eight on offense. Three key players are gone from a year ago, including Kenny Onwubuya (now at Stephen F. Austin) and Colin Baker (playing at Colorado). Mamouth offensive linemen Da'Marcus Baymon was named to the second team all district as was defensive end Evan Floyd. Punter/Kicker Matt Aman was a first team district selection. After starting part of the time last year, Austin Pugliese will be the man at QB, while Junior Brent Mitcham gets the nod at RB after sprinting for a couple of TDs on 61 carries last year. Some pieces are in place for an improved campaign.
