Season Outlook: Southeast has a slough of newcomers that could contribute early and become effective, but the key will be replacing a number of starters in the secondary and at wide receiver.  The Knights will have to play one game at a time, in order to be successful.  Three city games to start, plus defending state champ Omaha North will test the Knights early.  Team chemistry will be very important.
