OUTLOOK

Arlington had a very productive 2018 campaign, finishing with a 7-3 record and a second place division finish. This season, they hope to build around their returning talent for another good year.

Greg Dailer returns to the Eagles for his 12th season as head coach, aiming to build around his “strong defense” and “veteran offensive line."

The defense will indeed be strong, as they return a lot of players that got significant minutes on last year’s defensive unit. 

They return three all-league players in Chase Petersen, Will Shoemaker, and Quinten Yon-Wagner, who will each have vital roles to keep this machine rolling. 

The Eagles should have a successful year despite being in a division that will be deep.
