Outlook: The Dragons went 7-4 last season and return 15 starters off of that squad; two-thirds of the varsity roster is back. Dunston Owens is back to lead the offense after starting at QB last season and accounting for more than 2,000 yards and 32 scores between the pass and run. The receiving core must be retooled, with Ron Howard the only solid returning option. The offensive line is strong, especially if a RB steps up and takes some pressure off of Owens. The defensive lineup is strong throughout, with linebacker a big strength. The Dragons have a lot of talent back; another good season seems likely.
