TROY WARRIORS
Coach: Kevin Hastin (third, 7-3, 2-3)
Last season: 7-3 overall, 2-3 league
Scouting report: The Warriors will feature a fast, experienced defense led by senior linebacker Chavo Hernandez (86 tackles last season). Coach Kevin Hastin describes him as “a very athletic linebacker that has a great nose for the ball.” Seniors Dominic Vaccher and Brett Haima give the Warriors one of the best secondaries in the league. They had nine interceptions combined last season. Vaccher could also be a key player on offense. Hastin calls him a potential “big play threat.” Vaccher finished last season with 827 yards receiving on 70 catches and rushed for 359 yards on 50 carries. Dray Shaw will get the bulk of the carries this year. He gained over 400 yards in five games last season.
