Outlook: The versatile Tyler Chambers returns for coach Van Fuschack along with six other starters as the Brahmas hope to improve on last year's three win season. Chambers can play numerous positions, and he may start at QB this season after playing some under center after circumstances dictated that he was needed as a signal caller last year. Kris Cole will be the top target in the passing game, with the starting RB still a major question. Only three starters are back on defense, and again it seems Fuschack has significant work on his hands in order to climb the district standings.
