Outlook: New coach Oscar Villasenor inherits a squad dropping from 5A and has ten starters returning. Arnold Garay completed a high percentage last season, though his passes tended to be short ones. Garay could get a run for his starting spot from Guillermo Claudio. Gerrardo Cruz was solid at RB last season and will again see a lot of work. Juan Cisneros should be a top WR option. On defense, Juan Garcia, Joel Martinez, Sebastian Jimenez, and Pedro Castillo should be a good group in the trenches. Improving on last year's two-win season is possible.
