TEAM STRENGTHS
According to coach Robinett, this group of Warriors works hard and are fundamentally sound. CCS will look to utilize its speed advantage in different ways to get points on the board.
AREAS TO IMPROVE
In eight-man football, the loss of even a couple of starters can be devastating. The Warriors' offensive line lost the most from last year, and the coaching staff is eager for the newcomers to get game experience to settle into their positions.
COACH SAID
"Last season was a whirlwind and was fun, but it is behind us. We will take things one game at a time and get better week after week, but our goal is nothing short of that Gold Ball."
