Lake Stevens football preview

Published 9:24 am Wednesday, September 3, 2008

LAST SEASON

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

RETURNING STARTERS:

Offense 4; Defense 5

LOOK AHEAD

After opening last season 4-0, the Vikings lost four of their final five league games to fall one game short of reaching the postseason. Lake Stevens will have to play more consistently and stay healthy to overcome its lack of depth to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2006.

COACH’S COMMENT

“ We have very good overall team speed. We return our QB and a few players who can run and catch. Overall team chemistry has been great at spring and summer camps.
