A quick team has decent balance, with skill talent in the fold to go along with experienced offensive lineman Jerry Rangel, defensive linemen George Ledesma and Rolly Cantu, and LB Gilbert Hernandez. Newcomers BJ Flores, Skylore Janes and Ray Gray will play in the secondary. Coach Alex Leal's team isn't overly large, but with good health they will be competitive.
