Outlook: The Bears are looking to make some progress in the conference after winning three games outside of the league last year. Ashley returns senior Bailey Felton who earned honorable-mention, all-conference honors and plays offensive line and defensive end. Senior Zack Kremer returns at defensive end and sophomore Preston Reha returns at a linebacker. Senior Austin Edel and junior Daniel Beebe return in the secondary. On offense, junior Gabe Saylor and Edel return at receiver. The offensive line has some strong players including senior Corey Turner (5-11, 250) and Felton. Cameron Alverez, Reha and Beebe are in the mix at running back for one of the smallest schools in the area.
