Preseason

In Lehigh's previous season, the Mountain Hawks' roster was very senior heavy, with most of the team's starting players graduating. [1] As such there is an equally large oncoming group of Freshmen, including two quarterbacks Matt Machalik of Palmerton and Hayden Johnson of Manheim Township, as well as Senior QB Matt Rauscher and fifth-year QB Dante Perri. [1] Additionally, coach Cahill has highlighted the new freshmen defenders, including Broc Bender, second-team all-state linebacker from Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia. [1]
