Eastside football is aiming to return to its winning ways with a formidable offensive line, marking a change from previous seasons of struggle. Under coach James Magazine, the team made strides from a 12-year drought before experiencing two more challenging years. The current squad features three seasoned starters that Magazine believes will enhance both their offensive and defensive capabilities. With a focus on stopping the run, the team is confident that their revamped lineup will lead to success this fall.

By the Numbers
  • Eastside went 5-4 in 2019, marking their first winning season in 12 years.
  • In the last two seasons, Eastside's records were 4-8 and 3-8 respectively.
State of Play
  • Eastside is set to begin its season with home games at Bauerle Field.
  • Inexperienced skill positions are anticipated due to significant graduations, creating a reliance on newcomers.
What's Next

The team is expected to integrate five transfers by week four, which could significantly impact performance against tough competitors. This infusion of talent should align with their challenging schedule, including games against Ridgewood and Union City.

Bottom Line

Eastside's success this season hinges on their ability to adapt quickly and effectively leverage their new offensive line to strengthen both their run game and defense. Overcoming past struggles and re-establishing a winning tradition is a priority for the program this fall.
