Outlook: First year Coach Terry Hernandez is optimistic for his Chester Volcanoes. "[We will be] much improved," he said. Coach Hernandez begins his work with 10 returning starters and the team's star running back, Billy Anderson. Trevor Delucchi TE/LB, Matt Rosenthal OL/DL and Jamie Morris OL/DE will play important roles too. The Volcanoes have speed, quickness and are talented. The incoming juniors have the ability to make an impact this year. The team will be young and could suffer for their lack of size. The new coach and team plan to have playoffs at home and compete for the section title.
