As summer practice is approaching quickly, it is time to look seriously at what I think we may see......

I think you will see some serious changes in the way the Colonels approach the game. I could see them playing a game where they are going to do all they can to get the ball in the hands of more kids and more athletes. This will be due to the fact that the Colonels will have more options, and a healthy "set" of quarterbacks.

I look for more than the obvious personal changes brought on by graduation. The defense will be faster and they will look to use that speed, along with some deceptive strength.

The schedule is challenging to say the least, made more difficult by starting out with two games on the road. But oddly enough that may be a saving grace for them as there will not be the pressure of the home crowd and the players can focus on the task at hand.

I think the district will be challenging and tougher than many expect. The key will be staying healthy but depth will not be the problem that it has been in the past.

I think the Colonels will have a successful season, but it may not be in the eyes of the fans because it may not be a sparkling record but it will prepare them well for the post season and the bottom line is that is what it all about.
