Outlook: The Arrowhead Christian Academy appears to be cautiously optimistic about the 2008 football season. How could you not be optimistic about returning 18 starters? While the young 2007 edition of Eagle football did struggle in the Christian League, Coach Wayne Cochrun expects his team strength to improve greatly. Among the greatest challenges for programs that have struggled, simply learning how to win and prepare like winners solves many issues. That appears to be the goal for Coach Cochrun, and he'll have a much more experienced group to pursue that goal with.
