University Christian had a phenomenal 2015-16 season, adding another state title to the trophy case.
2016 is all about maintaining that consistent success.
Expectations will continue to be high this year due to a fairly young offensive line returning to protect junior quarterback Clay Boyd, and speedy running back Otis Anderson, who both showed consistency for this team all year long.
Anderson recently chose to stay in state and play at the next level for the University of Central Florida next year.
Although there are no concerns on offense, there will be a lot of youth on the defensive side, especially on the line.
This will not be a problem early on in district play, but will need to improve if they want to make another deep run in the playoffs.
However, the Christians are definitely helped by their schedule, with winnable games against Providence, Eagle’s View, Harvest Community, Cedar Creek Christian, and Duval Charter.
Their biggest game? Against fellow state champion Trinity Christian Academy. Every year, it’s a don’t miss game, and this year is definitely no exception.
Overall, we see no reason why Coach Penland and his team cannot continue their success and bring home another piece of hardware for their trophy case in 2016.
