It feels like something everyone can handle and be part of,” Sader said. “If there’s one thing I want to see us improve it’s taking the time outside of practice to learn plays. We can run 20 plays and only run one right and it doesn’t do anything for us, but if we run 10 plays perfectly we’re in the end zone.” Auvinen, of course, has goals he’d like to see the team work toward. “Offensively, we’d like to go 50/50 with the run and pass, but everybody always says that. We’d like to keep close to that ratio to keep opponents off bal- ance more than we were able to last year,” Auvinen said. Receiving duties are likely to be han- dled by Kyle Aguilar, Kyle Aicher, Gage Mance and Brendan Van Voorhis, one of the top sprinters in the state. “Brendan can run like the wind and he’s not just a track guy playing football, he’s got good game skills,” Auvinen said. On defense, handled by new defensive coach KJ McCrae, Auvinen said the team will try to be less blitz-heavy with a four- man front rather than three. Senior Lac- roix Hill, who is injury-free for the fi rst time in a while, will likely be the point- man as defensive end and defensive tackle. “I like our defense this season, they’re tough and fl ying around and physical,” Hill said. “It’s not going to be easier this season, but we have a good connection and I hope we can dominate.” Auvinen said the Celt defense sur- prised their offense in early scrimmages. “You could tell that they were play- ing at a different tempo and the offense had to take a step back and reassess. The challenge for the offense is to match the defense now,” Auvinen said. Per usual, putting it all together will be the biggest challenge for the team, but Sperle thought the Celtics were up to the task. “We need to play with tenacity non- stop. We’ve taken plays off in the past and we need to stay fl uid through the whole game,” he said.
