Outlook: Fifteen starters are back for coach John Mares and a Flyer team that he thinks will be much improved. Defensive Tackle Kier Wells is an All State player; he leads a defense that should be tough. Linebacker David Woolson is a standout player, and newcomer Hayden Vesliy should be solid in the secondary. On offense, the line will be very talented, and that's good news for skill positioned players. Depth could be a problem, but if they stay healthy, it should be a good year.
