Outlook: Wildcats' coach Kent Hawthorne has fifteen starters back including key skill position talent. Brixx Hawthorne is back at QB, with RBs Brandon Ramirez and Chris Saenz returning. Marcus Rhodes is a solid target at 6'5" and should see plenty of passes from Hawthorne. The offensive line is experienced. On defense LB Tyler Wright leads the way. In the secondary Matt Hairell is a key corner. The smallest school in the district has talent and room to improve over last year's 3-7 record.
