Outlook: The Lodi Flames return eleven starters including quarterback Patrick Armstrong and outstanding runningback / linebacker Connor Peterson. Armstrong may have competition for his spot from a new mystery transfer. Coach Todd Dillon told us that his Flames would have better team strength and speed than ever before. The team is inexperienced but they are hungry to prove themselves on the field. "Every year for the past eight years, we have attended the Reno contact camp. We learn everything we need to know about our team at that camp, for better or worse. This year was the best we have ever looked. We are very optimistic and excited about our potential to compete in the upcoming season," concluded Dillon.
