LAST SEASON

t-4th place in Wesco North (4-4, 4-6)

RETURNING STARTERS:

Offense 1; Defense 1

LOOK AHEAD

Arlington edged Marysville-Pilchuck 21-20 in both teams’ final league contest, giving the Eagles the final 3A playoff spot. They fell 34-7 to Auburn in the qualifying round. This year they have a new coach and return just two starters. They will have to overcome their youth and inexperience and a move to 4A to claim a playoff spot.

COACH’S COMMENT

“(Our opener) will be a great barometer for us. We only have two starters back, so that’s a big question mark. We expect to be competitive in every game … if we stay healthy, we will be in every game.”

Greg Dailer,

1st season
