Top returning players include Jake Smith QB/FS, Victor Timmions RB (top rusher last season), Joe Allegretto FB and Tim Iman LB (top tackler last year). Coach Lance Gosch is most concerned about his offensive line and defensive line, believing it is the key for the Cubs' success. The team continues to improve in all areas. "I think we can be a better football team. How much better will come down to how well our O & D line come together," said Gosch.
