LAST SEASON

8th place in Wesco North (1-7, 3-7)

RETURNING STARTERS:

Offense 4; Defense 4

LOOK AHEAD

With the exception of a 28-0 victory over Monroe, the Spartans never finished a game within 18 points of a Wesco North opponent last season. Head coach Dick Abrams said the underclassmen who saw extensive playing time last season will have to mature quickly for Stanwood to be competitive in the Wesco North this season.

COACH’S COMMENT

“ We’re anxious to have a good season. We have a good young squad – somewhat inexperienced, but we’re counting on those kids who have played on Friday nights.”
