Outlook: Twelve starters are back for coach Craten Philliips who's team should revolve around QB Sam Kruger. Dylan Barton will start at RB with Colton Casper and Denver Fuller top options at WR. Veteran linemen are present and the offense should help the Bulldogs improve upon last years two win season. On defense Brandon Bush and Taylor Stokes will anchor the line. More good players are always needed, but some talent is present for the smallest school in the district.
