Strengths/Question Marks:
This year the Ghost Squad will have several new faces in our starting lineup after graduating nine seniors last year. The underclassmen have worked hard in the offseason and are expected to step up and fill key roles. Our three seniors are a stronghold in our defense and will lead the team from the backfield.”
Outlook: “Abington is in a rebuilding season but at a higher level than in the past. I foresee a lot of growth over the season as this team gels together and ups their overall level of team play.”
