Here's a look at Cavalier this fall. They will have a new coaching staff or maybe just new coach. They still haven't found a assistant coach yet. Rod Mack and Jeff Urlaub maybe asked to coach grades 7-12 together unless they find some one soon. They will only bring back 22 kids grade 10-12 this year and probably add another 8-10 freshmen and they will probably have about 30 kids on the roster. I'm pretty sure none of the incoming freshmen will make an impact.
Key loses: Rod Oksendahl (coach), Matt Anderson, Robert Vistad, Ryan McGillvary, Lucas Neumann, and Brandon Hills to graduation. They also lose Jamison Brekke and J.J Carik who moved. Carik would probably have been their best player this year.
Key Returners: QB/DB Karsen Yelle, RB/LB Mitch Ford, Chris Lawonn RB/DB, Blaine Kemp TE/LB, Ryan Kalanowski OL/LB
They pretty much lose everybody on the line and they won't be reloading with much on the line. Might actually be one of the worst lines Cavaliers ever had. The skill positions will be alright they have their starting QB back in Yelle and Ford and Lawonn wouldn't be to shabby running the ball if the line can make some kind of hole. They also won't have that play maker or game breaker they have had in the past in Sundby, Trenbeath, Oksendahl, and Anderson.
This will be a team that will have some ups and downs this year. I don't think their region will be real strong so they might make the playoffs probably finishing behind Larimore, Thompson, and MPCG this year. Gonna be a long tough year for this team for once. I'm thinking a 4-6 win season for the tornadoes this year.
