The senior class will drop from 915 to 350 students. That would vastly impact any team. Coach Randy Blankenship could only write "OUCH!!!" We feel his pain. But there's still good talent on the team. Key players like Mike McAllister (RB/OLB), Quinn White (RB/DB) and Fernadon Martinez (DT/C) really have a chance to prove themselves as great team leaders. Despite the lack of depth and inexperience, Coach Blankenship is especially impressed with the team's attitude, speed, effort and desire to improve.
