Northern Bedford will go over .500 next year in football.

FACT!
NBC returns tons of depth on a defense that flat out stunk most of this season. Additions of a player or two could mean great things for NBC. There should be very good depth at DE, and LB is set with Swope in the middle and Wagner moving to the outside (in my opinion). Swope clogs the middle with the best of them and has a nose for the football. Ian Feathers will also see a lot of valuable time at LB as well for NB. Kilgore, Shauf, and Stapleton will be the DE's. Steve Wagner, Drew Eshelman, and maybe a kid like Derek Brown (someone get this kid to play!) would be the DL. Brown would make a very good NT in my opinion. I also love to see Brandon Rodland back as is one of those kids that just makes plays.
Offensively there are question marks and plenty of them. Can Hoover or Donaldson step up to the plate and be the backs that NBC needs? Could Kilgore be a guy that runs the ball...sort of like a D'Carrion type of player I think? Can Mike Hughs continue throwing big passes to Kagarise and will Houston Klotz be able to make an immediate impact? The line and tight ends should be very good here as well with names like Wagner, Wagner, Eshelman, Swope, Thompson, Shauf, and Kilgore available.
Time will tell, but I think that NBC needs to play a great defense and win games averaging about 20 ppg on offense.
