Offense: Timber Creek runs a multiple shotgun offense and returns seven starters. At quarterback, senior Myles Nash (6-foot-5, 205) appears out in front and he is being pushed by juniors Daniel Williams (5-foot-10, 165) and Jagger Green (6-foot-3, 170). Nash started a couple of games last year. At running back, senior Cherokee transfer Zaire Williams (5-foot-11, 205) and senior Khalil Pierce (5-foot-9, 180) will be the primary carriers. Williams started at Cherokee and Pierce is a returning starter, plus he will see time in the slot. Senior Eric Church (5-foot-9, 170) is also pushing for time. When a fullback is used, senior Joey Phillips (5-foot-11, 235) will be called on.

There is plenty of experience at the receiver positions. The slot receivers have returning starters in senior Bryce Shade (5-foot-8, 175) and Pierce. Also in the mix at the slot are junior Isaiah Austin (5-foot-9, 175) and sophomore Kareem Ali (5-foot-10, 160). The wide receivers have returning starters in senior Kevin Casey (6-foot-3, 205), junior Adonis Jennings (6-foot-3-1/2, 190), plus senior Dajaun Drennon (6-foot-4, 240). Pushing them will be sophomore Gary Sandes (6-foot-0, 170).

The line returns three starters in seniors Greg Webb (6-foot-2, 295), Tamell Irving (6-foot-0, 265), and Matt Adams (5-foot-11, 210). Competition for the remaining two spots come from senior Drew Mawson (5-foot-10, 200), junior Lamont Bradford (6-foot-4, 270), senior David Martinez (5-foot-11, 220), senior Joe Rapp (6-foot-0, 235), and junior Brandon Smart (6-foot-2, 215).

Defense: The Chargers run a 4-2-5 and return six starters, one who played often, and another who started two years ago. The tackles bring back Webb, while Drennon and Nash are back at end. Nash may also see time at linebacker. Also back at end is junior Solomon Potter (6-foot-1, 240), who started two years ago as a freshman. At tackle, junior Donte Hardwick (5-foot-9, 240) saw time and he will be in the rotation with senior Marques Jenkins (5-foot-10, 235) and Bradford.

At linebacker, senior Taliq Chambers (5-foot-10, 180) returns and he will be joined by senior Derrick Copeland (6-foot-0, 185). Also getting time will be Nash, Williams, and sophomore Daren Sherif (6-foot-1, 190).

In the secondary, three return. Senior Bill Burton (5-foot-10, 165), junior three year starter Justice Davila (6-foot-0, 185), and Church are the returnees. Ali will round out the quartet.

Coach's Comments: "We have high hopes for the season. Our success will hinge largely on how quickly this class of seniors accepts the reigns as the leaders of the team. We won our group last year and these guys don't want to be the ones to give back the title, but that remains to be seen. We'll go as far as they can take us." - Head Coach Rob Hinson
