Outlook: Coach Lance Angel's Eagles will rely on the one-two punch of RBs Alex Williams and Zach Cummings this year. The duo combined for more than 1,500 yards last season. Who will start at QB is a big question, but whoever it is will have good targets in Grant Franklin and Devon Talley. On defense, lineman Destry Hesskew and LBs Jacob Harris and Nich Garrison lead the way. Players are in place for a run at the district title.
