2016 Coronado Football Capsule

CORONADO

League: Class 4A Southeast

Head coach: William Froman, second season (3-7)

2015 record: 3-7 (1-3 Southeast League, fourth)

Returning starters: Six offense, seven defense

Top offensive players: QB Landen Rowland (Sr.); OT/TE Dru Harris (Sr.)

Top defensive players: OLB Cole Grismanauskas (Sr.); S/OLB Justin Balanga (Sr.)

Outlook: The Cougars will build around Rowland, who passed for 1,155 yards in his first season playing quarterback.

Froman said his senior signal caller has made “huge strides” from last season, and is beginning to get some looks from colleges at the FCS and Division II levels.

“He’s everything you want in a kid,” Froman said.

Froman also likes his team’s offensive line and tight ends as the Cougars will look to control the ball on offense.

“I really like our offense, they’re fantastic kids,” Froman said. “I’m not going to make any silly predictions, especially as tough a division as we play in.”

Defensively, Froman said the team should be solid up front, but there are concerns about team speed.
