Season Outlook

Back to Top

Seventeen starters are back for coach Jim Reape and his offense should once again be able to move the ball. Ulysses Tobler will start at QB and be asked to throw the ball about fifteen times per game while managing the Wing T offense according to Reape. Wideout Gabe Burden and Tight End Austin Haymon are top targets. In the running game Rodney Perry leads the way with Shane Coleman lightning quick working as a backup. Antwan Smiley and Kenny Beecher could also see carries. Four starters are back on the offensive line. Reape is excited about his defense who he hopes to keep fresh by rotating players in and out. Players are in place for an improved year.
