The Braves expect to have a rebuilding year this season. Ryan Schimke LB/OL/FB, Oscar Pineda K/LB, Pete Knight RB/LB/DB and BJ Rosen OL/DL will likely pull double duty this year to help their team compete at the same level as last year. The players are athletic and know how to win, according to Coach Mark Cooley. The team, as a whole, will be young and inexperienced, but they will be adding a successful 9-1 junior varsity group to their team. Although acknowledging the Braves are in a rebuilding state, Coach Cooley says, "[We have] potential to play at the same level we did last year." |
