Outlook: First year Coach Rick Wanlin expects to be competitive with every game on the season schedule. The Rosemont Wolverines return only seven starters from last year, but they add an 8-2 junior varsity squad to the varsity depth. Outstanding players include Drew English OL/DL, Isaiah Collins QB and Lamone Williams RB. The team has good speed and excellent off-season conditioning, but they will struggle with youth and inexperience. The Wolverines attended a full contact camp in Menlo this summer that should help team efforts. "We feel that with all of the hard work we have put in the spring and summer, we were able to make up some of the differences that we have had in the past. We are looking forward to the upcoming season," surmised Coach Wanlin.
