Minersville
Last year: 3-7, 2-7 Anthracite Football League
Head coach: Pat Mason (13th season)
Key losses: RB-LB Dave Schultz, RB-DE Kyle Lucas, OL-DL Tommy Moran
Key returnees: WR-DB Jon McBreen, TE-LB Adam Stoppie, RB-DB Dylan Stephen
Name you haven’t heard yet, but will this season: Sophomore QB Kei’dre Taylor
Summer camps/7-on-7s attended: Penn State Lion Strong 7-on-7 and lineman challenge, North Schuylkill 7-on-7 and lineman challenge
Coach’s comment on summer workouts: “The team has been working extremely hard since 6 a.m. workouts started in January, and summer workout attendance has been excellent. I was very pleased with the way we competed at the summer camps we attended.”
Two burning questions heading into camp:
A — Miners need to establish a running game. A battle for the running back position will headline camp.
B — Can Miners improve their win total? Must get physically ready for tough early schedule.
