Outlook: New coach Randy Perez has a challenge ahead of him with a team that returns only two starters on offense; he must also navigate a move from 5A. The returners on offense are both in the trenches, Adrian Reyes and Rodney Hales. On defense, LBs Dathan Dimas, J.D. Hernandez and Patrick Garza are back, as are key components to the secondary, including Albert Carillo. A young team should improve as the year goes along, but obviously a lot of work needs to be done, especially on offense.
