It's doubtful, though, that the string will last beyond this fall as an entire new coaching staff has taken over the Tornado program. Only 6 starters return, highlighted by OL/DT Wyatt Bowers. Coach Chris Long feels the team strength will be the Bowers led lines, but thinks that the skill positions will not be quite as polished. A 1-9 JV team joins the fray. If a new attitude can be established, then in 2009 you might see more evidence of growth of the Hoover program.
