Outlook: Longhorns' coach Robert Gomez has nineteen starters back from a team that went 5-5 last year. Joseph Maldonado is small in stature, but big on the stat sheet, rushing for over 1,700 yards last year. Maldonado will be joined in the backfield by QB Leo Rodriguez. The offensive line is solid with Arturo Garza, Oscar Ramirez, and Arturo Garza. On defense Safety J.A. Perez and Corner Tom Ruiz lead the way. On the defensive front there is a lot of talent featuring Chris Salazar, Matthew Leal and John Gallardo. Sammy Ramirez and Kenny Wynn anchor the LBs. Bettering last season should not be a problem, and contending for a district title is possible.
