“Some of these guys have been on the field since they were freshmen. You can’t ask for more experience than that.” Vinemont’s offense will look to improve on last year’s scoring output of 21.3 points per game. DEFENSE In order to make the postseason for the first time since 2014, Vinemont’s defense must tighten up the nearly 30 points per game it surrendered last season. “We have a good nucleus returning on defense as well,” Robinson said. “It should be a more confident and skilled unit. You’ll see the newest faces in the secondary.” The defensive line should require plenty of attention with Tanner Brown returning at defensive end and Ethan Martin at defensive tackle. “We’ll count on those two seniors to produce and take the pressure off some of the younger players,” Robinson said. “We need both Tanner and Ethan to have big seasons.” Penciled in at linebacker are Curvin, Kylan Richards and Carson Greer. In the secondary, Miller and Jarrett Friedrich will be among the Eagles expected to produce. SPECIAL TEAMS Senior Nacho Salgado will handle kicking duties, and Dylan Crider is the punter.
