Duncan said. Entering spring ball, we do not have any (strengths). I can’t empha size how important spring ball is to this team.’’The sophomore-dominated team apparently has responded better than Duncan had expected to changes in the offensive and defensive alignments. Duncan implemented some variations in the I-formation offense and switched to a 4-3 (from a5-2) defense.It was announced Thursday that tailback Rocky Gillis, the star of last year's spring game, may play.
