The Cubs return eight starters on defense, including 2014 first-team all-district selections, Khevon Shepherd, Jonahan Homan and Deion Earls. Also returning are all-district selections, Marquez Bimage, Dillion Thielemann, Trumaine Sweed and Tyrell Rogers.

Offensively, the Cubs look to replace eight starters, including record-setting running back Ernest Patterson, quarterback Caleb Hill and wide receiver Jaquay Cross, as well as three starting offensive linemen.
Sweed will get the bulk of the work at running back, while returning backup Halen Tilly and newcomer Jacob Oehrlein will see time at quarterback.
Also returning is all-state kicker Tien Pham.
Coach West says the key early on is continued improvement and staying with a positive attitude…
The Cubs open the season with the Lamar Texans—a team West says consists of some great athletes…
