Outlook: American Heritage will be very young in 2008. Coach Bob Giesey is excited about having nine eighth graders on his team, but understands that lack of experience will provide obstacles. Giesey says, "We will be a brand new team. We lost 16 Seniors on a team of 36. Not big, not strong, not fast." WR Duval Gregory and DE Baron York will be looked at to provide experience and leadership.
