Outlook
Olmsted Falls graduated another large senior class, including Air Force running back signee Rocco Conti. While the team doesn’t have as much returning experience as in prior years, they return a second-year starter at quarterback and veterans along the lines on both sides of the ball. Expect to see a little more of the passing game to pair with their traditionally potent rushing attack.
Player to watch
Andy Voisinet is a hulking monster at right tackle. The returning starter will provide toughness in the trenches to allow plays to develop and open holes for the likes of Derek Neckar and Co.
Underclassman to watch: Quarterback Jimmy Rosol is back under center for Year No. 2. The junior’s arm will allow the Bulldogs to open up more in the passing game.
Bottom Line
IF: The more youthful players can step up, THEN: Olmsted Falls will remain a top contender in the SWC.
