Other players to watch include Kyle Olugbode RB/CB, Joe Sever WR/OLB and Mike Dirkson WR/CB. Amanam rushed 1323 yards and received for another 309 yards; he recorded 23 touchdowns as well as 6 interceptions on defense. Carta-Samuels passed for 1171 yards and was the team's 3rd highest rusher in the Bell's run-oriented offense system last year. Clay recorded 110 tackles/assists. Coach Mike Janda is working to offset the team's inexperience among the offensive line and wide receiver corp. But he knows he can depend on his quarterback and running back ranks. "We hope to perform to the level of last year where we were 10-2 as league champs," commented Janda.
