Key starters on the line include Taylor Brickey C, Billy Rotenkolber OL/LB and Jessie Reneaux OL/DL. Watch for outstanding players Max Mariani RB/CB, Kyle Tobler QB and Aaron Geerts TE/LB to bring some real team leadership. The combination of excellent skill players and great overall team speed may be the ticket for the Winters Warriors to reach their goal of winning the Butte View league title and make a run for a sectional title. Winters must deal, however, with the lack of depth in all positions except running back. Coach Ward may hand out only 30 uniforms. Reloading with a very successful junior varsity squad may provide the talent to overcome this deficit.
