QUOTE: “We are off to a solid start in the preseason. We have all three starters back at linebacker and they should anchor our defense. We have three veteran offensive linemen back. How quick a couple sophomores can come along and gel with them will be a key to our success. We will be depending on some talented but inexperienced guys at virtually every skill position.” – Brian Beaubien, Kenwood coach
