AUSTIN PANGAN!!!


Coach Todd Rowley: Best punter I have worked with. This guy has a great leg for kicking and a great personality. You can't help but like Austin as he is a great kid to coach and to just joke around with. A real pleasure on the team!
Coach Scott Bequette: Wanting to have fun and keep the team up. He was always by my side wanting to do whatever the team needed to excel. He did a great job punting. I hate to say it but we needed him more than we would have liked to have used him, he did really well with all that pressure. It was great to have him on the team.




RILEY INGRAM!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: Riley has been with us a few years and when working hard to his potential, is a great lineman. He is fun to talk with and I really enjoy talking to him about his other love, playing baseball. If he sets his mind to something he will get it done and done well.
Coach Scott Bequette: Is a great lineman and center for the team. Every team needs good linemen to play well. It is hard to play center because at the snap of the ball he has less than a second before the pressure comes. He got the job done.



"VINNY" MAUMAU!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: Vinny has the best hands on the team. This guy can catch a pass the way it is supposed to be caught. He improved his game by becoming a great defensive corner and has worked very hard all season. We were glad to get him back from the smurfs (Bingham) after leaving us for a year.
Coach Scott Bequette: Has a lot of natural ability, he is fast and has great hands for receiving and intercepting the ball. He's got a good attitude when things are tough. I wish we would have had more chances to use him in the games but we didn't have the offensive play time that we are used to having. He is a great asset to the team.




JAKE TIMM!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: Jake is a force when pushing you out of the way. He is strong as an ox, yet
has a movie star smile. I think his smile and good nature are what I like most about Jake. With
a broken leg a few years back and some bumps and bruises over the last few seasons, he has proved tough by returning again and again after many would have quit.
Coach Scott Bequette: Jake is a Bull and hard to get through. Linemen do not get a lot of credit and glory most of the time. It takes a special breed to be at the front line in full attack having to give 100% every play. Jake is that man, never quitting even in pain. I am proud to have him on the team.



ETHAN CUTLER!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: Faster than lightning. Probably the fastest X-man I have ever seen. He brings a bull rush that is pretty impressive. He has worked harder than most coming from being pretty new at football last year to a premier football player this year. Living proof of desire and work ethic.
Coach Scott Bequette: Is one of the most disciplined players I know, never quitting and putting his best effort forward every time. I have never seen a lineman with his speed, and he sure knows how to use it when blocking and getting in the backfield to make those great tackles. I am privileged to be his coach.










ANDREW RICE!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: This guy is stronger than a bulldozer. Had he not broken his ankle the first week of the season, he would be a force at this point. He showed incredible heart by staying with the team the entire season, despite not being able to play most games. Most in his situation would have left the team back in August. He is working hard these last few weeks that he has been able to play to gear up for next year. With a full season of training, his size and bit of an attitude will make him a force to reckon with.
Coach Scott Bequette: Most guys would quit with an injury like he had. It says a lot about a person who will come back in the middle of the season and give that great effort. He truly is a tank and hard to get through. I wish we would have had him the whole season. There were a lot of teams with guys his size and he would have been the force to stop them. I'm excited to have you next year.




ALEX STAIR!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: A pleasant surprise at our tryout this year. He brings a big strong presence to the line with some good speed to get out and hit linebackers when needed. Being new to the sport, he did a great job and will only improve as he works hard and gets a better understanding of the whole field. A great guy to have on the team.
Coach Scott Bequette: For his first year playing with us, he has done well. He hits hard and blocks well with his speed. He is a hard worker and determined to do the best at his job. He doesn't like to lose which makes him a great player. I think next year the other teams won't want him against them.
