Outlook: Coach Don Benson's Coyotes are fairly young and inexperienced as they try to improve on last year's three-win season, which did not include any victories in district play. Four starters are back on each side of the ball, with Rudy Hernandez the most experienced RB returning. Who will start at QB is a big question. The defense might be the team's strength, with Corners Danny Garcia, Edgar Hernandez and Jose Sanchez very capable. If young players learn and mature on the fly, an improved season can take place.
