Jeff Strycula's first year at Miller was what you would call awkward. Hired in late May after spring football practice after Jeff Steinberg took the job at Corona Santiago, Strycula never felt comfortable with his veteran team, a team that had come off a Citrus Belt League title the year before.

"I never really felt that it was my team last year," Strycula said. "I came in late and I don't think there was much unity last year. I feel a lot comfortable right now - I feel like the program is completely in my control. I feel like there's more of a team concept this year, that everyone is on the same page."

Miller was up and down last year, losing its first three non-league games before running through four straight wins in Citrus Belt League and taking a 27-7 halftime lead over Rebels. The Rebels then ran out of gas, blowing the 20-point lead to the Terriers and two of their final three games.
