Of five returning offensive starters, Tyler Pate at RB and Jimmy Martin at QB are both Seniors and form the base of a pretty talented offense that features 6'2" 195lbs Tight End Michael Hamilton--a second team district selection last year who has good hands and is a really good blocker. Junior RB BJ Rice should spell Pate. He's only 5'6", but he's a shifty runner who can race for the big play. Desi Tchussen is a weapon too, though it's hard to say where he'll play on offense. He's an athlete capable of playing QB or on the perimeter. Dropping to 3A should give the Falcons a better chance to compete, and with a lot of returners, it should be a good year.
