Biggest storyline in 2015: Is the rebuilding efforts over the past two seasons over for Shepard?
News
Names to watch: QB Jack Carberry (junior quarterback is a definite name to watch this fall) and RB Demetrius Harrison (another junior who started all season in 2014).
Biggest holes to fill: The Astros have a talented young core of players back but do they have enough depth?
EDGY's Early Take: Shepard looks to be ready to make some noise in 2015. Depth is an issue but with a few breaks this team will challenge for a conference crown and a state playoff spot.
