Outlook: Whirlwinds coach Rusty Purser will rely on the running game this season with Aarhon Flores leading the way. Last year Flores sprinted for more than 1,300 yards and fourteen scores. Fred Williams will spell Flores and double as a defensive lineman. On the offensive line Dillion Chesshir and Luis Foster lead the way. The smallest school in the district has talent but needs a defensive stopper or two.
