SOUTHLAKE CHRISTIAN
Head Coach: Cheron Farley (1st year as SouthLake Christian football coach; six years as SouthLake Christian defensive coordinator).
2018 Record: 7-5 (2-1 in the NCISAA Piedmont Athletic Conference).
2019 Conference: NCISAA Piedmont Athletic Conference/Division III.
Returning Starters: 8
Returning Letterman: 12
Key Returning Starters: Luca Lutzel, Sr., FS/WR (6-0, 165); Beau Bullerdick, Sr., RB/DB (5-10, 180); Matt Lutzel, So., DB/WR (5-10, 165); Derek Farley, Jr., DT/OG (6-0, 240); Bryce Duquesne, Sr., LB/RB (6-0, 205); Nick Metallo, Sr., OT/DT (6-0, 250); Zack Murphy, So., K/P (5-11, 175).
Key Newcomers: C.J. Simmer, Sr., LB/TE (6-4, 210); Cooper Wray, So., DB/WR/QB (5-10, 160).
Outlook: SouthLake Christian has been up and down in the last two years going 13-11. This year, former defensive coordinator Cheron Farley takes over a younger overall team with eight starters back (12 lettermen returning). The Eagles will look to two-way standouts in seniors FS/WR Luca Lutzel (six interceptions, two pick sixes, 825 all-purpose yards last year) RB/DB Beau Bullerdick, OT/DT Nick Metallo and RB/LB Bryce Duquesne, to be playmakers and provide leadership. SouthLake Christian will be well tested within their own league (the NCISAA Piedmont Athletic conference) but the Eagles have proven they can win in the postseason (NCISAA Division III state champions in 2017, Division III state semifinalists in 2018), and hope to be in position to make a similar run this November
