Dave Geiger has joined as line coach with his son Nathan Geiger helping the defensive side and Murry Wright will be the new defensive co-odinator. Steve Debienne is the team trainer again but has had special teams added to his list of jobs. Ritchie Roy is returning to help coach and will help with the offensive line. The new team manager, filling the role of one the most thankless jobs, is Laura Morrisette.
The bantam team has about 36 kids playing this season, ranging in age from 13 to15.
