Sedro-Woolley�s recent struggles in football could be coming to an end with the addition of new head coach Bryan Alexander.

At least that�s what the Cubs are hoping for.

Sedro-Woolley picked up one win last season, knocking off Squalicum in the second-to-last game. Other than that there was a lot heartbreak and disappointment. Alexander�s challenge will be changing the men-tality of a program that�s been used to losing. He should have some help from his returning players.

The Cubs� Derek Garcia will be back at quarterback, and though he�s not very big he makes up for it in toughness. The two-time state wres-tling champion helped engineer Sedro-Woolley�s only win last season and should provide a spark.

He�ll be handing off to Ryan Mor-gan, who started last season at quar-terback before Garcia took over in the final weeks. He�s another player who isn�t very big, but has lots of heart.

One thing the Cubs will have to improve on is their defense. Sedro-Woolley allowed the third most points in the Northwest Conference last season (290) and can�t do that again. Having another year of sea-soning should help.

It might still be a building year for the Cubs, but they should be im-proved.
