Others to watch:

Strengths/Question Marks:
“Our strengths are that we have a handful of returners that are familiar with the varsity level and speed in combination with determination to succeed. Both new and old players have worked hard in the off-season, which shows they are willing to put in the time and effort to produce wins, yet learn from the losses as well. Question marks are going to be molding the new players so that they gel with the rest of the positions on the field, which will aid in success both offensively and defensively.”
Outlook:
- “We look forward to a competitive season as always, especially in District One. With many returning players and positive new faces, the team is ready for the challenge.”
GAMES TO WATCH: Neshaminy, CR’s & Tennent are always intense competitions
