Head coach: Dale Pruitt (first year here; 289-138 overall)
Returning starters: 5 offensive; 5 defensive
Key players: QB McKinley Everett (6-0, 156), WR-DB Carson Sied (5-8, 150), WR-DB Adam Davis (5-5, 136), RB-DB Malaki Webb (5-11, 186), FB-LB Isaac Pangle (5-11, 195), RB-LB Cody Williams (6-1, 190), TE-DE Josh Williams (6-4, 195), RB-LB Cooper McGarey (5-9, 177), OL-DL Blake Swords (6-3, 209).
Team strengths: About half of last year’s starters are back but there is also several players who weren’t starters but got plenty of game experience.
“We’ve got quite a few kids who’ve played before and that always helps,” Pruitt said. “They’re having to adjust to some things that are different but when you’ve got guys with experience they can pick up on things pretty quick.”
