Outlook: After a near perfect 12-1 season last year the Tigers have only three starters back this year. The offense must replace all eleven starters and will be led by new RB Jordan Foster. On defense Brad Cross and Paul Nicholson lead the secondary, with Sammy Cisneros and Victor Bernal tough in the trenches. At LB Bear Tamburin and Jake Newman lead the way. The largest school in the district is likely to take steps back but can still compete.
