Program Profile: Woodson Cavaliers
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Woodson Cavaliers finished 3-7 last year, with injuries and inexperience leading the way for their late season slide. The Cavaliers started 2022 3-1 only to lose they're last 6 contests and providing even more motivation for a turnaround in 2023. Playing in the Patriot District Class 6 Region C will not be easy as South County, Fairfax, West Springfield and Robinson have high expectations as well, but Woodson seems ripe to surprise everyone come this fall.</p>

<p>Head Coach Eric Henderson gave us his thoughts for their 2023 campaign " We should be much improved - stronger, more experienced. I anticipate we will play faster and with more confidence this fall. Defensively we've simplified our system emphasizing tackling and effort. Offensively we should be vastly improved. Play makers look really good and our line is strong and skilled. "</p>

<p>Playing in one of the most underrated conferences in the state things will not be easy for Woodson. Talking with the team you know they are ready for the challenge and firmly believe they will contend this season. </p>
