Offensive strengths/areas for improvement:
Senior leadership and team-driven ideals. We need to developing the "expect to win" mentality.
Defensive strengths/areas for improvement:
Same as offense
Offensive Outlook:
Our passing game should be greatly improved from last season, and in that we are expecting to take some pressure off of our running game.
Defensive Outlook:
We are defensively undersized, so we are going to rely on speed and sure tackling to make up for our size deficit.
Conference Outlook:
The Canyon Conference is made up of only three teams, but it is always tough. Declo will be returning the majority of the state runner-up team from last season, and Glenns Ferry is always tough. So the conference should be a good battle all the way around. We ended in a three-way playoff last year, and I expect it to be tight again this season.
Coach's Team Summary:
I am excited about the upcoming season. We made some great strides last season, and we are looking forward to building on those successes and moving forward.
