OUTLOOK:  

Coach Thomas will look to reload after an 18-5 season a year ago. Despite losing a solid core due to graduation, Wauseon is poised to have a solid 2014 campaign. With one of the top one-two combination along with solid depth on the hill Wauseon will be a team to watch out for in 2014. The Indians will have to compete in a difficult NWOAL with the likes of Bryan, Archbold, Patrick Henry and Delta among others.
