Conference outlook: Should be a solid conference with… Edgar as the favorite. I hope that we can make a challenge but a lot of things have to come together for us.
Abbotsford and Iola-Scandinavia will be solid along with Pittsville. I don’t know much about Rosholt, Pacelli, and Assumption.
Keys to your success this season: Right now we need to get healthy. Hoping that we can get healthy and continue to build our confidence and along with that comes the aggressive, tough football that is needed. That’s a lot of it, for us to be successful, we need to develop a hard-nosed football mentality and apply it.
Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share? We have a lot of experienced players returning but at the same time, we lost a lot of offensive and defensive production. We need playmakers to step forward.
