Question marks: Can the Yellow Jackets match the offensive production they posted last year? Also, the state title will likely motivate opposing teams to give a little something extra against Perrysburg each time out. Can the Yellow Jackets raise their level?
National look: While northwest Ohio has few premier teams, the state as a whole features talent from the three major metropolitan areas (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati), not to mention other cities. There are loads of great players, but there are also many schools that means the talent is spread out.
In summary: "We need to create a new identity and prepare for all teams to come out and play their best game against us."
- Co-head coach Margaret Bernard "It is going to be very tough to duplicate but we have the talent to make a big run at it. We are fortunate to be a school that a lot of talented kids come to be a part of."
