Outlook: Starting QB Jordan Litchfield leads the Bulldogs along with 13 other returning starters as coach Glenn Davis tries to better last year's 1-9 season. More than 80 percent of last year's varsity roster is back including Litchfield's key targets Tight End Ricky Gonzales and WRs Taylor Greene and Curtis Davis. Greene will also see carries. On defense, Caleb Franke leads the way at LB with Hunter Brietzke and Sean Hesler in the secondary. Picking up a few wins is possible.
