COACH ON 2025
Deshon Butler: “We will be a very young team this season, only having 3 seniors on the team in Marshell, Trinady, and Tomas. But we are a very skilled group. We return all of our linemen from the previous season who helped us generate 44 total touchdowns last season. But we only return 4 of those touchdowns back within our skill position(s). We will look to see how well Madden Bentley can manage our offense full-time. Defensively, we only return 3 starters from last season. So we will have a lot of new faces step up to help us get some stops. Special team-wise wise we return our all-state kicker in Quinn Vasquez.”
