They will go as far as their defense can take them.. Offense will be fine.

[panamamyers]

You're right. 

I will go so far as to say they have the best offensive skill position players in the district without question. 

Defense should be better if guys can hold up to playing both ways which I am assuming they will need to do in many cases.
