The Monarchs lost many talented players to graduation last year; they return eight starters. Second year Coach Matt Haniger stated, "We will be inexperienced [this] year, but we look forward to the challenges of a very tough pre-season which includes Las Lomas, Gilroy, Palo Alto and a stronger WCAL [West Catholic league] which now includes Sacred Heart Cathedral. We could have as many as six sophomores starting for us." Key athletes Andrew Bigelow LB/FB, Mitch Haniger WR/DB, Patrick Downey OL/DL and DJ Bush (RB/CB) return to lead the Monarchs season. Coach Haniger expects his Monarchs to have a strong offensive and defensive line this year.
