Outlook: The Bradshaw Christian Lions expect to have a significant season with 26 returning players and 15 starters that went 6-4 last season. Coach Drew Rickert told us that his Lions are hard workers. "Our offensive backfield and defense should be much better," said Rickert. The Lions don't have the benefit of a junior varsity team to fill gaps because of their size. But Tyler Wood RB/S, Alex Williams QB, Joseph Pigeon MB/FB and Tyler Takahashi OLB/FB will lead the team through their 2008 season. The lions will be working hard to protect their depth on the line.
