Outlook: Coach Marvin Sedberry's Parrots lost the majority of his roster and will be hard-pressed to dramatically improve last year's 3-6 record. Damion Thornton is a talented athlete who will play QB and may also see time at WR. Davion Thornton is a top receiving option. The offensive line will feature Ezekial Richardson and John Wiyual. On defense, Aaron McQuin leads the secondary, and Dezmond Jones anchors the line. A middle of the district finish is not impossible.
