Outlook: The Wolves were the surprise team of the postseason last year, advancing all the way to the Sunrise Region title game after winning just one league game.
The team returns plenty of experience from the squad that lost 28-16 to Liberty for the Sunrise title.
McAllister returns at quarterback, and he got better as the season progressed last fall. He finished with 1,553 passing yards and 15 TDs, and rushed for a team-high 420 yards and 10 TDs.
He'll miss the production of all-state receiver Villaros (46 catches, 842 yards, 11 TDs). But the 6-foot-4-inch Eagles gives him another big target, and the 225-pound White (377 yards, 7 TDs) should lead a bruising ground game.
The Wolves were shaky defensively last season, giving up 30 or more points seven times. Evans and Blakely both were first-team All-Southeast League picks last season, and a year of experience should make the team tougher on that side of the ball.
