St. Albans lost a lot on offense but still has one of the best quarterbacks in the DMV returning for his senior year. Paukstis completed 142-of-215 passes for 2,293 yards and 29 touchdowns last season. He’s the school’s record holder in passing yards and will most likely break other school records this upcoming season. Paukstis lost a few weapons in Martin, Cobb, and Samuel. My guess is that he’ll be asked to carry even more of an offensive load this season with his arm.
