The Lions are hoping for another jump to league champions and a deep run in the playoffs. 15 starters return, including QB Jason Moralez, RB Daniel Musquiz, and the entire offensive line, led by 6'6" tackle Matt Fetzer. The defense will be led by MLB Zac Starrett, who registered 99 tackles last year, and DB Brandon Blake, who had 5 picks on defense and 8 TDs as a WR on offense. Coach Jimmy Kemmis calls this year the "best chance in school history to win a championship."
