The Episcopal Eagles are led by two former Jaguars legends in head coach Mark Brunell and offensive line coach Tony Boselli. However, it seems that their experience didn’t help them last year.
Finishing 5-5, Episcopal did not live up to expectations, despite having one of the best offensive lines in the area. Andrew Boselli, Tony’s son, is now at Florida State, and other lineman have graduated also. They’ll have significant holes to fill as far as the line is concerned. Episcopal will also lose its leading rusher, Scott Dollison.
However, they do have a significant amount of talent returning to Pajcic-Hunt Field this fall. QB Joseph Brunell and TE/LB Adam Boselli, both of whom are college prospects, will be back in the fall and will hopefully be an excellent tandem. Also returning is AJ Wooten, who is extremely valuable to the Eagles on both sides of the ball.
Also in Episcopal’s favor this year is their schedule. They have probable wins against Paxon, Wolfson, Duval Charter, Fernandina Beach and Hilliard, the first two of which are at the beginning of the season. However, West Nassau and Trinity Christian Academy are likely to give the Eagles some trouble.
Overall, if Episcopal fills the offensive line holes and matures and ramps up their offense, they should expect a more successful season this year than last year.
