Jace Chancellor is tall and sturdy and returns after a solid year passing and running. Andy Garcia is dangerous as a top runner and will see lots of work. Sergio Espinoza will be the team's top receiver. On defense Jason Meurer, Matt Hernandez and Cody Peck lead the LBs. In a competitive conference, Slaton is a squad that you can't look past.
