Coach’s Corner
NVL Football: What makes this year’s team different than last year’s?
Coach Veronneau: “With the departure of All State/All NVL QB/DB Matt Quatrano, our team will take on a different look. Instead of one or two weapons on offense, we will spread the ball around, and look for some of the younger players to step up. Dedication to the off-season program has been fantastic, and we hope to see the benefits in the fall.”
The Indians will succeed if…: “the quarterback position develops and the returning starters continue to improve on last year's performance. If those two facets happen, and we get off to a good start against some tough opponents, we look to improve on our 6-4 record from last year.”
NVL Football: What is the biggest asset you have on the team?
Coach Veronneau: “Our biggest asset is our offensive line. We have two of the bigger players in the league in Lumani (6'4’’, 285lbs.) and Howieson (6'2’’, 270lbs.), and with their hard work and leadership in the off-season they are going to make sure that we can stop the run, and pound the football.”
