Outlook: The Hercules Titans return 16 starters from last year. The Titans are excited about their new facility. The added vitality is also demonstrated by the addition of 4 more coaches. The team returns outstanding quarterback Michael Montgomery whose game time was cut short last year due to injury. Other outstanding players include Augestine Vogele FB, Julius Shipman RB, Kyle Andrada WR along with a whole host of experienced linemen and defensive players. Coach Gerald Montgomery believes the Titans will hold their own this year. He is working on weakness among special teams, but he is depending on overall team experience and strong defense.
