Strengths: Skyline’s pitch and catch duo of
Devante Kincade and
Ra'Shaad Samples is arguably the nation’s best. A huge offensive line will once again buy Kincaid time as well as open holes for
Ellis Onic and possibly 2015 standout
Jatory Sparks-Brown. The team’s secondary will be blazing fast and teeming with future Division 1 players, a common occurrence at Skyline.
Question marks: With the loss of Peter Jinkens, Domenic Spencer and Nigel Robertson at linebacker, a major strength of the team could become a weakness.
Justin Norton and
Isaiah Williams are expected to step in, while a number of sophomores may be looked at for the open positions, including
Malik Jimmerson and
Anthony Wheeler.
Outlook: This team was a freak play away for playing for a state title last season, killing the team’s reputation as a talented squad that couldn’t go the distance. If not for a silver fox, Skyline might be defending state champions. If nothing else, last year’s 14-1 start and deep playoff run gave this team invaluable confidence. In 2012, it’s time to cash in on last year’s heartbreaking experience.
