Key Players Lost:
WR/DB Ryan Young, WR/DB Ridge Fuentes, RB Joey Walton, RB/DB Devon Brown
Incoming JV Players:
OL/DL Dom Ventresco, Sr.; WR/DB Johnny Rake, Sr.; OL/DL John Edmundson, Sr.; OL/DL Kenny Parham, Sr.; DB Eric Reyes, Jr.; WR/DB Kyle Mai, Jr.; WR/DB Ridge Meacham, Jr.; WR/DB Conner IMel, Jr.; OL Sammy Metz, Jr.; OL Danial Mattoon, Jr.
Offensive strengths/areas for improvement:
We are eturning key players in Justin Podrabsky and Spencer Beale. We need to have our young skill kids step up and replace all of our graduating skill players.
Defensive strengths/areas for improvement:
We return a lot of experience with our front seven but need to replace our defensive backfield
Special team Strengths:
Podrabsky is the All-North Idaho punter, and we return our kicker Chris Schrette
Offensive Outlook:
If we can find capable skill kids to go along with Podarbsky, we should not have much of an offensive drop.
Defensive Outlook:
This is our strength this season. We have some solid experienced players coming back. Again, if the young kids can impove in the secondary we can have a very solid defense.
Conference Outlook:
It should be very competitive this year just like always. We do have the more difficult schedule playing Post Falls and CDA on the road.
Coach's Team Summary:
If our young players can build on their success at the JV level and continue to improve, we can compete for one of the league playoff spots.
