There is much excitement among the team and coaches as the year prepares to start. The team is young and has several first year starters to go along with a solid core group of starters from last year. For the team to be successful they will have to get better every week and maintain intensity over the season.

Many of the kids spent the summer in the weight room and in off season conditioning. At the end of the summer the kids were tested on three core lifts, bench press, squat, and clean. Three of the kids had combined totals on the three lifts over 1000 pounds. Tim Morford led the group, followed by Jonathan Oxley, and Jake Beecher. The football team wants to thank all the sponsors who donated to the lift-a-thon.

The team only has two returning seniors, Wiley Wells and Jonathan Oxley. Both will start for the Indians and have shown that they will be leaders on the field.
