Outlook: The Rams hope to get over .500 this season with ten starters returning. Devion Dukes will get the nod at QB with Jason and Matt Lopez at RB. After scoring six times last season, Francis Schieldge is back as a top target in the passing game. At LB, Russell Schaefer and Anthony Puente are back, and Andy Garcia and Justin Smolek will anchor the secondary. Coach Mike Carew's team should compete in a competitive district.
