But with players like former AFL and af2 standout kicker Nick Gatto and former Colorado Crush veteran quarterback Todd Hammel as Offensive Coordinator the team will have established arena football ties.
"The leadership our staff brings to the table will set a solid foundation for Copperheads football," added Head Coach Bryan Blake.
Copperheads Crunch notes: The team has been focusing on quarterbacks, agility drills and overall conditioning early. "When my team takes the fourth quarter our team will have the stamina to finish all four quarters," noted Blake.
