Unfortunately, two things are going to work against the Wolves in '08: they only return 6 starters (only 2 on offense) and they move into a powerful new league, the Big VIII. Despite the few returners, Coach Ken Mushinskie still feels that his team will be "extremely athletic at the skill positions." The challenges ahead, however, are going to be very difficult for the King program to overcome and qualify for the playoffs.
