2019 Recap
We had a tremendous season in 2019, having an undefeated regular season and district championship before losing in the quarterfinals to Topeka Hayden. We were led by a very strong defense and a great group of seniors in 2019. Great leadership and chemistry really made last years group a fun group to be around, who worked extremely hard, and made a lot of big plays.

2020 Outlook
We bring back 7-8 guys that have a lot of experience and playing time last year on defense. We expect to have a very strong defense especially with our entire DL returning as Juniors this season. I believe that we will have solid depth at a majority of positions. We will have a lot of competition for some starting spots on both sides of the ball, which should bring out the best in our kids and help our team in the long run. We must be able to control the L.O.S. on both sides and we must be able to take care of the football on offense, and stop the run on defense. We definitely turned the ball over too many times throughout the year on offense. We must be able to take care of the ball and execute. We must be able to be more efficient on offense and give our team the best chance to win. We will need to be able to focus on one play at a time, and just do the little things better to beat the best teams.
