A pair of good JV teams from each of the last two years will combine to keep their playoff streak alive. Coach Johnson feels comfortable with his skill position players, but the offensive line will have to develop quickly to give guys like Christian Johnson (over 1600 yards rushing a year ago) a chance to excel.
