Team Outlook
Amherst  - Coach John Keith Cornelius (15-7-0) at Amherst and (15-7-0) Overall, Offense (I - Formation), Defense (3-2), returns 3 letterman 2 offensive 2 defensive starters with 5 letterman lost from a (6-5) Sixman Bi-district playoff team.  Overall Strength (offense), Strengths on offense (running back), Strengths on defense (linebacker).  Notes from the Coach:  This year's team will be built around RB-DB Gary Parson.  We will need him to carry the majority of the offensive load.  Todd Pugh will need to step up at QB and be able to throw the ball.  Defensively, we need to play good team defense.
Meadow  - Coach Cody Carroll (17-5-0) at Meadow and (17-5-0) Overall, Offense (Wing), Defense (3-2), returns 13 letterman 4 offensive 4 defensive starters with 5 letterman lost from a (10-2) Sixman Regional playoff team.  Overall Strength (offense), Strengths on offense (quarterback, running back), Strengths on defense (defensive line).  Notes from the Coach:  We will have 7 seniors this year that will have to play well for us to be successful.  They will have to be leaders for us.  Most of our skill positions will be underclassmen that got great experience last year.  Our defense will have to be better tacklers for us to be competitive.
New Home  - Coach Shane Moore (4-6-0) at New Home and (4-6-0) Overall, returns 7 letterman 4 offensive 3 defensive starters with 4 letterman lost from a (4-6) team.  Notes from the Coach: Maturity will be the key as far as converting on big downs offensively and defensively.  Hopefully, this will give us some consistency to build on.
