It was first built in the 15th Century B.C., when southern Palestine was under the political sway and religious influence of Egypt.

Choate and Kelly will have the call at the wing positions, with White and Crocker as possible substitutes. Kopans and Francisco, who have held down their positions rather consistently throughout the season, still hold sway in the tackle niches and work outside of Schumann and Gundlach at the guard berths.

With the exception of the return of Locke as an alternate on the first backfield, the secondary remains the same, with Haley...
