During the preseason, on August 12, the Wildcats expressed frustration over previous defensive performances, particularly against rival running backs. Senior linebacker Colin Edwards identified the challenges the team faced in past seasons due to opponents’ rushing yardage. In response, new defensive coordinator Zach Hauk has implemented a more aggressive strategy, aiming to turn around the team’s defensive fortunes.
Novi’s performance last year saw them finish with a record of 5 wins and 5 losses, with half of those wins being in league matches. Key returning players for the current season include linebacker Reece Pippin and offensive/defensive lineman Aaron Stewart, who are expected to make significant contributions as the season progresses.
