The Alphen Eagles enjoyed an undefeated season in 2014 under the tutelage of Head Coach Errol Zeefuik.Quarterback Richard Bouthoorn, who is also the starting quarterback for the Dutch Lions, Holland’s national team, returns giving the offense the most potent attack in the league.

He relies on national team running back Chris Smith to carry much of the load. Tom van Duijn, Maarten van Bergen, Stefan van der Neut and Berend van der Zaag add to opposition problems. On defense, defensive end Erwin Gloudemans will be a force again in 2015.
