2015-16 Liberty Flag Football Capsule

LIBERTY

Head coach: John Diamandis, third season

2014-15 record: 8-10 (6-8 Northeast, fifth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Four (two)

Top players: WR Pualani Tuika (Jr.)

Outlook: The Patriots narrowly missed qualifying for the playoffs last year, but has some work to do.

Tuika, who caught 14 touchdown passes last year is one of only four letter winners returning.

"The team is very young and inexperienced this year," Diamandis said. "We lost 14 seniors and three juniors who either moved or can't play this season. This will be a total rebuilding year."
