Notes:
The Eagles look very tough this year especially on the offensive side. The pass catch duo of Garrett to Murray will be fun to watch. If they have a weakness it is on defense with only 2 returning starters. That said, they will still be one of the top teams but their road to avenge last year's championship loss to Idalou looks to be even tougher this year.
