Excitement is in the air as the Perry Bluejay football team gets set for the season opener tomorrow night at 7:00 against Panorama.  Perry will return some key starters on offense including quarterback Caden Heck and wide receiver Holden Smith.  Smith led the Perry offense a season ago with 10 receptions while Heck threw for over 300 total yards.  Head Coach Bryce Pierce hopes both of those numbers increase.  Perry will look to a revamped offensive line to try and rejuvenate a rushing attack that struggled all season.  Perry averaged less than 1 yard per attempt last fall and everyone in Blue knows that number must improve.  Keegan Synder has moved to the fullback position and will try to bring toughness to the Perry backfield.  Juan Hernandez slides into the tailback position and will offer breakaway speed and a homerun threat that Perry has lacked in recent years.

The offensive line returns only one starter with center Kael Iles.  Luis Castro, Jesse Rodriguez, Kevin Collin and Angel Calderon will all be first year starters.

Perry host Panorama at Dewey Field tomorrow night beginning at 7:00.
