Outlook: The Scorpions have eleven starters back this season as they look to get over the hump and better a 4-6 record from last year. Omar Marquez is back at RB after a solid season last year. A starting QB is needed, and when one is decided on, Juan Ortega and Jonathan Roa will serve as top WRs. On defense, the secondary should be a strength with Diego Pedroza, Da'Veion Sullivan, and Alex Rayos all back. Fabian Ramirez is a standout at LB. Coach Robert Morales has the talent to compete.
