Team Strengths: Good speed and talented backfield and receivers. Linebacker and secondary corps look pretty good.
Biggest Challenges: Depth and how far and how fast frontage people mature. This year we’ll have more two-way players and getting our offensive frontage to come along quickly. It’s conceivable we could have as many as eight or nine playing both ways.
Will Reach Our Goals … “If we stay healthy. Right now we’re looking for our frontage to mature fairly quickly. We have a good stable of backs, but any good team lives and dies with their frontage people.” – Tom Schoen
Noteworthy: 25 consecutive playoff appearances; 13 conference titles; 13 appearances in Section 3 Finals
