Juniors on the team include Matt Craddock, Cameron Hayes, Marshall McCloud, Jeno Pelerose, Stephen Quisenberry, and Casey Sherman. Sam Taylor is the only sophomore on the team.

Team goals include to win a region and state championships, to win the Coweta Cup, to win the Cougar Classic, and to return to the playoffs. Also, Coach Wiedert would like to have the defense under 20 goals allowed for the season. He also hopes that the offense will score over 60 goals this season.

In March, the home games are the 2nd against Morrow, the 9th against Mundy's Mill, and the 29th against North Gwinnett. In April, the Cougars will play at home against Lakeside-Dekalb on the 13th and Huntsville, Alabama, on the 14th. All home games will be held at Drake Stadium.
