The Cougars return eight players who have played together on varsity since their sophomore year. Edwin Virgin OL/DL, Drew Reid DL, Fred Maier DL, Paul Roberson WR/DB and highly DI recruited Spencer Hagan WR will lead the team's effort to repeat their upward trend. Capital Christian, however, may be hard-pressed to replace outstanding skill players from last year's above-average team.
