"We will not be the throwing team we have been in the past, but we should be able to run effectively," said Coach Kirkpatrick. The Healdsburg Greyhounds will have solid defense, but they could benefit from a deeper secondary. Andy Phillips FB/LB, Dante Fountain WR/DB and Travis Paasche OL/DL are players to watch for as the Greyhounds start their season.
