One way Cade looks to raise the team to another level is by building up the Beavers’ confidence. “You’ve got to have a little chip on your shoulder,” Cade said. See AF, Page 30

by Boone Giulio, who is not turnover prone and can use his quickness to evade defenders. Giulio will have a receiver to throw to in Joey Morris, who was the quarterback last year. “He looked amazing out there this summer,” Cade said.

The scoop: Grover remains to be one of the centerpieces of the team. He will bring size and speed at running back and linebacker. He is joined in the backfield
a sophomore linebacker and fullback who is coachable and has great work ethic. Lastly, Cade noted another skill player who could be successful in sophomore receiver Colton Adamson, who possesses soft hands.
2015 expectations American Falls’ roster is sprinkled with inexperience in many spots and has a new coach. The Beavers look to get into form quickly, so they are ready for their district matchups in the latter half of their season.
