Quiet as kept, the Alonso Ravens are a very talented team with plenty of young players that have lots of experience.

Running back, Ish Witter (5-8/185lbs) is no longer one of the underclassmen. He is a rising senior and expected to flourish this year. He showed flashes as a sophomore, made strides as a junior (165 carries, 902 yards) and will be a force as a senior.
