7 Zach Willich 5'11" - 210 They base their offense out of the Markham Double Wing, but have become multiple and
17 Mike Craddick 5'11" - 175 have various threats to utilize with the left-handed scrambling Joe Conklin at QB.
27 Austin Mayfield 6'0" - 215 If Conklin is allowed to get his drops and find cutback lanes, we will have serious problems
37 Mike Brandtner 6'2" - 200 We have to stay aggressive and play our assignments across the board.
83 Tom Barber 6'5" - 230
87 Ryan Hintze 6'3" - 200 They run a majority of their offense to the TE side and their passing game to the split side.
82 Tom Bush 6'4" - 220 Their kicker is a major D1 prospect with a cannon foot of 50+ yard punts and sets up at 10

Defensive Game Plan

We will look to keep our base (6) defense this week with a minor wrinkle.
Expect to run with
63 Eagle / Invert / Tight / Wide / Strong Slant / Angle / EON / TON / Soft (Nose) / Loose (Mike)

In Eagle, Edge will always look to get penetration and jet "B" gap. If guard pulls, he trails from behind and
In Loose, Mike will get a fast read on his guard and scrape based on action.
