"I think this year, our team may not be as strong overall. We never have many returning starters. But the thing that will be huge for us is the new league, where we will be the biggest and strongest team by far," said Davis. The Warriors return only six starters, but they have strength, size and work ethic to offset lack of experience and team speed. Outstanding athletes include Patrone Wood II, voted all-league first team, ending his sophomore running back season with 1,666 yards and 19 touchdowns in 11 games. He will also start at inside linebacker this year. Others include Siua Taufa OT/DT and Loni Fa TE/DL. This year, the Warriors add 3 more coaches for a full regiment of six coaches.
