Players to watch Hollis Veal #13 RUNNING BACK/DEFENSIVE BACK Two-way player Hollis Veal has seen more and more action on the field each season and now will be counted on to both carry the ball on offense and defend in the secondary. The talented junior is speedy and smart and a key to Frederica’s success.
Nick Harrison #7 Quarterback/DEF. back Trying to follow in the footsteps of perennial all-star Max Bourne, junior Nick Harrison takes the reins of the Frederica offense and will look to keep the chains moving for the Green and White. A student of the game and a solid game manager, Harrison’s arm and legs will be critical to the Knights’ success, as will his ability to execute the weekly game plan of the FA coaching staff.
Tyree Tresvant #2 RECEIVER/DEFENSIVE BACK One of the fastest Knights, Tyree Tresvant is a two-way stalwart who can make plays all over the field. The most prolific offensive player among all the returning Knights, Tresvant’s legs, experience and versatility will play a large part in the Knights’ success.
KEYS TO WINNING REPLACE KEY STARTERS
Frederica lost a host of key players to graduation, including its quarterback and top rusher. The Knights will have to find players who can match or exceed those contributions made by their departed teammates.
STEP UP IN CLASS AAA
The Knights are moving up in class going forward and will face a number of larger schools with long, successful football traditions. Frederica must hold its own against its newer, likely tougher competition.
RECAPTURE DEFENSIVE EDGE
The Knights were a surprisingly stingy, opportunistic defensive team during their championship run of 2012, but were more porous in 2013. A return to that bend-but-don’t-break style of defense will serve FA well.
