Outlook: Coach Jerry Bomar's program has eleven starters back including standout QB Clayton Love. As both a passer and runner Love can make plays and will be the focal point of defensive game plans. At WR Bobby Dorman and Kevin Bartley are solid options in the passing game. If Love switches to RB, Sophomore Thor Long has potential at QB. The team's defense needs playmakers to go along with Tackle Chase McCage and LB Taylor Merolla. The Cats should compete in just about every game and repeating last season's 6-4 record is possible.
