Linebacker might be the team's greatest position of strength with Cody Lane and Clint Riddle in the fold. Kelley O'Brien and Michael Walulik anchor the defensive front. At corner, Kevonte Shaw and Raghid Ellisor along with Jesse Butler at Safety are a solid nucleus in the secondary. Offensive talent must step forward if the smallest school in the district is to make much headway.
