Things look even brighter this fall, as 12 starters return, including QB Gerritt Wormhoudt and WR Greg Bretz. Coach Tom Gault is excited that his entire defensive secondary returns, but he is concerned about having to replace 3 offensive linemen. Although this Husky team appears to be capable of advancing beyond the 2nd round of the Southern Section Northeast Division playoffs (where they lost last year), it would be tough to imagine or expect a deep playoff run for a program with such tough travel requirements.
