The offense returns an experienced and confident unit that has built strong chemistry and leadership throughout the offseason. Execution, discipline, and consistency will be critical, with a focus on staying efficient, protecting the football, and capitalizing on scoring opportunities to set the tone each week.
Defensively, the Crusaders bring back key contributors who understand the system, play with toughness, and pride themselves on preparation and communication. Limiting explosive plays, winning first and third downs, and creating turnovers will define their success, with improved depth allowing for more consistency and physicality across all positions.
Special teams will be a key factor in the overall team success, emphasizing execution, field position, and momentum swings. With new specialists stepping into important roles, the goal is to win the hidden yardage battle and create game-changing opportunities in the return game.
With a veteran core, improved depth, and a focused mindset, Notre Dame-Green Pond is prepared to compete at a high level every week and position itself among the top contenders in District 11 and beyond.
