Strengths of offense: Run game returning RB’s and lost only one from OL. Strengths of defense: Returning 10 out of the 11 starters and others with signifi- cant playing time.
Team’s biggest questions marks: Two years ago we had only three players in the weight room, 5/6 eligible. Prior to COVID-19 we had 36 kids players and made great strides in strength and developing athleticism and grades were not going to be an issue. We were looking to have a productive spring and summer training. I am not sure what to expect when we all get back together and start working. 2020 expectations: I believed we were making progress and would have a better year than the previous two seasons prior to COVID-19. We have already lost three months and possibly may lose another two. If we can get all 36 players back and add our 10-15 freshmen to the team and not be hurt by eligibility, we might be able to exceed last numbers of wins by 3-4 games. We have been working
with our players on being resilient in the offseason. We are hoping that this was accomplished with all 36 players.
