With sixteen starters back it seems likely that steps forward will be taken. Ryan Wilburn starts at QB with Michael Andrews at RB. Brandon Cartwright should also see carries. At WR Deshan Burrell and Levin Willoughby are capable. The defense is strongest in the trenches with Decova Moore and Andrew Brown leading the way. The smallest school in the district should take positive steps.
