In the Cougars' football team, there is only 1 starter returning on offense, Quarterback Tim Lund. Head coach Mike Watson is hoping to see production out of his sophomore, who were undefeated as freshmen a year ago. Sophomore Fullback, Jeff Burns is already starting along with Austin Borowicz. Uprising star quarterback Chris Anderson is also dressing for varsity, but is not expected to see much action because of the productivity Tim Lund is sure to show.
