Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (quarterback, running back), Strengths on defense (linebacker). Notes from the Coach: Our defensive front seven should be very good this year. Our linebackers are our strength. We graduated a big strong offensive line, so our linemen need to step up. Our offensive line will be smaller, but we still should be strong. We have some good skill people returning offensively. |
| Merkel - Coach Keith Mullins (0-0-0) at Merkel and (52-47-3) Overall, Offense (Flex Bone), Defense (5-3), returns 7 letterman 1 offensive 2 defensive starters with 24 letterman lost from a (9-4) 3A Div. II Regional playoff team. Overall Strength (offense), Strengths on offense (quarterback), Strengths on defense (defensive back). Notes from the Coach: We do have momentum from last year's playoff run, but we lost 24 seniors and lack experience. |
| Snyder - Coach Chad Rogers (20-14-0) at Snyder and (20-14-0) Overall, Offense (Wishbone / I), Defense (31), returns 19 letterman 5 offensive 5 defensive starters with 3 letterman lost from a (8-5) 3A Div. I Quarterfinal playoff team. Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (running back, offensive line, kicker), Strengths on defense (defensive line, cornerback, defensive back, punter). Notes from the Coach: We expect good things of this years team. We have strong returning starters on both sides of the ball. We will be greatly helped be last years 9-1 JV. Overall team speed will be much better than last year. We should have a quick aggressive defense with a solid running game on offense. We have two QB's that can throw the ball. |
