Last year, the Swifts experienced a lot of success, and this year they return 13 starters. WR Thomas Shacher is a favorite target, and though the team is young, they are talented. Snart says that they "have a solid group overall returning from a 12-2 team, but lost several key players. If we can develop a RB, we will have a chance to win our district and be around the same level as last year."
