That is one problem that Tri-City Christian is attempting to fix as Coach Rick Brown returns for a 2nd year after his two predecessors left after one. Returning with him are a set of players with a good amount of experience, such as junior QB Andrew Torkelson and two-way player Jeff Blatnik (who was one of the leading tacklers last year at strong safety). The Eagles lost a player who was both their leading rusher and leading tackler, but that just may lead to more of a balanced team in 2008.
