Outlook: Coach Tab Dumont's Eagles lost 19 Seniors off of last year's team that went 11-3, and though he has experienced tremendous success in a decade as the coach of Pleasanton, this year provides multiple challenges. The switch to AAAA will make each week more difficult; in fact Dumont is unsure if his squad is better on paper than anybody in a very strong district. On offense, RB Phillip Paweek is going to have to have a big year, and based on his near 1,100 yard rushing campaign with 14 TDs last year, he should see a lot of work in 2008. It will be a year of growing and gathering information on the new district. If play in the trenches is solid, the team will experience some success.
