Outlook – Unlike last year when the Pirates had to replace 19 starters, WC returns 14 this year. Head coach Rob Berger (9-12 in two years) expects his team to be much more competitive and they’ll have to be against a schedule that includes Springfield Shawnee, Turpin, Kings and Hamilton Ross. Key contributors will be Randy Stites (sr., WR/FS, 6-0, 165), Conner Myslowski (jr., QB, 6’4, 180), Zach Raab (sr., C/DT, 5’11, 260), Blake Craig (jr., TE/LB, 6’1, 190), Dean Maxwell (sr., RB/SS, 5’9, 160) and Eric Shelton (sr., P/K, 5’10″, 165).
