2022 Outlook:

Offense: “Offensively we have a great QB battle between two players.   We return 3-4 OL from 2021 and they are tough kids.  We probably have our best depth at receiver.  We also have 2-3 players who may run the ball.  Our goals for this year are the same every year and we plan to compete for a league and district title.”

Defense: “We return 6-7 starters from 2021.  Our depth is at LB and in the secondary while we will need to replace most of our DL.”

Special Team: “Sr. K/P Ayden Scharper is back and he has a great leg.”
