Outlook: Two-thirds of last year's varsity roster is gone including a large senior class. Coach Terry Summers has eight starters back and the Mustangs need key skill position talent on both sides of the ball. A lot of questions remain for a team that must have standout players emerge in order to have a major impact on the district race.
