2021 Snapshot: Chaminade Julienne

They are so ready to get the season started in downtown Dayton. Chaminade Julienne has something to prove after winning just three games a year ago. The Eagles are experienced with an electrifying offense that is ready to give foes fits.

The expectations are high for the next two seasons. “We had a heavy sophomore team in 2020. We are looking for those sophomores to be better as juniors,” head coach Marcus Colvin states.

A young offense averaged just 18.1 points per game, last fall. On the other side of the ball, the team allowed 31.6 points per contest. “The line play on offense and defense will need to grow. The skills positions have lots of talent,” Colvin says.

Chaminade Julienne has much to improve upon and there is every indication that will happen. It is just about the Eagles putting in the work to make it come to fruition. If they do, CJ will be a menace in their league and Region 12.
