Jercolby Bradley will start at QB after playing second fiddle last season. Who else is going to contribute on offense is a question. On defense, Winford Tennell leads the secondary, while Kameion Kitchen will contribute too. Defensive End Evan Conder will anchor the line, and Michael Munoz returns at LB. Finishing in the upper half of the district is possible.
