Nisqually 1A/2B

2007 Finish Overall League

Life Christian 11-3 4-2

The Life Christian Eagles head into the 2008 season under new head coach Todd Corrigan. Corrigan inherits a team that will do some serious damage in 2008. The Eagles return 5 starters on the offensive side of the ball, and seven starters on the defensive side. Running back Morgan Cox is back and has the ability to put up player of the year numbers. Cox ran for 1,633 yards and 18 touchdowns as a junior, and will be projected to go over 2,000 yards this season. Junior Quarterback Barrett Schmidtke is back as well. Schmidtke had a great sophomore year throwing for close to 2,000 yards and 16 touchdowns. His favorite target Jeffrey Riegle is back as well. The Eagles have some big holes to fill on the offensive and defensive line for graduating Jon Donner, and John Mathews. On the defensive side of the ball is where Morgan Cox will shine also. Cox should lead the team in tackles from the middle linebacker position. Depth could be an issue for the Eagles. Barring any injuries to skill position player Life Christian has the ability to go deep into the playoffs
