Outlook: The Monte Vista Mustangs return fifteen starters including Zach Ertz TE, Dave Wilkerson RB/LB, Tom Hemmingson WR/DB, Matt Tuckness WR, Taylor Brewster WR/DB, Nick Dreyer OL, and Sam Mosle OL/DL. Also, watch for new starters Brett Nottingham QB and Greg Johnson RB and Joey LaBarbera LB to make a difference. Coach Craig Bergman thought the offensive line and new offensive skill positions would be the strength of the 2008 team.
