Coaches’ Outlook:  We return a strong core of contributors from last year’s team, but will need to replace an excellent senior class.  The strength of this year’s team will be the return of an experienced offensive line. 

FNV Outlook: Olivet has an excellent program and has won the Greater Lansing Athletic Conference three straight seasons. With a host of returning players that includes a strong offensive line, look for the Eagles to possibly make a long playoff run. As always, that road will travel through LCC and possibly Berrien Springs.
