On offense, they have three players returning who were all-sregion and one all-state. OL Tripp Campbell (6’3,285) was all-state, Center John Nagy (5’11,250) and RB Dylan Lesesne (5’10,190) were both all-region. They are joined by Junior WR Thompson Dubose (5’11,180).

Defensively, the returning seniors are defensive end Nick Johnson (6’3,210) who was also all-region, outside linebacker MIchael Blthazor (5’10,180), Corner Gabe Cooper (6’3,190) all region, and safeties Neil Kennard (5’10,180) and Reid Liester (5’11,175). Also returning are juniors, noseguard MItchell McKay (6’3,240) and inside linbacker JB Belk (5’11,180).

They also bring back kicker/punter Will Frick (6’1,190) who was an All-State selection.

“Each week will be a challenge,” said head coach Danny Lewis, “since moving to this new classification.We have a solid core group of seniors that will be counted on to be big contributors. Lack of numbers on the line on both sides of the ball is a concern. We need a few underclassmen to develop quickly enough to provide us with meaningful snaps and added depth. Our team goals are always to improve each game, earn a spot in the playoffs, and play our best football in November.”
