Outlook: A change in district will be a new challenge for coach Larry McBroom and the Lions. On paper, a JV squad that went 1-9 last season won't be a huge help. The offense should be in decent shape with the return of QB Matt Bevnal and RB Brent Bulger. Two WRs and a few offensive linemen also return for a unit that should be much improved. The defense will be quicker than last year, but neither side of the ball has much depth. Ten starters are back, and many are experienced. A new district provides a new start and some key parts are in place.
