There is a lot of energy in Titans camp this year.
They are coming off of their first playoff season since 2010.
Larry McDaniels' program is off and running.
"We don't have the blue chip kids that we had this time last year, but I think from a camaraderie standpoint, and from a team being closer. I think the fact that the kids know me, they know our staff, our staff knows them. I think we're a little closer than we were this time last year. I'm interested to see what we're going to do," said second year head coach McDaniels.
The exciting part: they were led by a freshman quarterback, Brady Lichtenberg, who passed for 1200 yards and 11 touchdowns.
They beat their archrivals from Central Catholic on a pair of scores from Dmitri Mitsopolous.
He, Marcus Jarrett, and Jaedyn McKinstry all coming back for the receiving corps.
"Coming off the playoffs is a big thing for this program and us. Going into the season, we all have a lot of confidence and know what we can do and really want to reach our potential this year and make a run in the playoffs," said Lichtenberg.
"It gives an idea of what we have to do to make the playoffs. For the younger guys, us older guys have to give them advice. Let them look up to us," said Mitsopolous.
"Every day is a grind. Because of what are seniors put in us last year, it's really given us the motivation to keep that up," said Jarrett.
St. John's, in the tough Three Rivers Athletic Conference (TRAC) was 6-4 in the regular season a year ago. Their opener, at Bowling Green against the Bobcats.
