Outlook: Coach Billy Villarreal has 14 starters back, including Senior QB Justin Velez and Senior RB Ryan Garcia. Newcomer Luke Feaster should help both senior skill position standouts, blocking for Garcia and catching passes as a tight end for Velez. The defensive line should be a major strength and will have to make up for an inexperienced secondary. After winning the district last year for the first time in 15 years, some key players have departed, but the pieces are still in place for a very good season. The program is moving in the right direction.
