Eight starters are back including RBs Darren McCaslin and Jesus Fontez. The two combined last season to sprint for more than 1,300 yards. Who will play at QB is a big question. On defense, LBs Jesse Bice and Henry Cruz are solid. McCaslin also had a really good year in the secondary last season. A passing game must be developed in order to have balance and be a major threat in the district.
