Outlook: The Highlanders have 10 starters back from a team that went 3-7 last season. Coach Othell Robinson must find new skill position talent. Dai'Von McLucas steps in at RB, and sophomore Roscoe Lee will help out. A starting QB must be found and learn the system quickly. At WR, George Zakaria should be a top option. The defense will be led by LB McLucas and Corner Damon Barrett. Line play should be a strength for Eastern Hills. Talent is present, and a top-tier finish in the district is possible.
