Nevertheless, everyone was surprised when the Salinas Cowboys won the Offensive Line Challenge at the Stanford 7 on 7 Tournament. Key players like Ryan Gregg WR (top team receiver with 420 yards), Chandler Hubbard OL and Alvin Jelks RB could have significant roles for this season. The Cowboys add a 7-3 junior varsity squad to the varsity mix that has eight starters returning. Coach Steve Goodbody recognizes this is a rebuilding year, but he expects to be slightly improved with the incoming JV squad.
