The Spartans remove the co-coaching system, placing Head Coach John Schwabauer in sole leadership. They return twelve starters, including eight starters from last year's balanced pro-style offense. All-Section Cole McKenzie WR /DB, Collin Ramirez QB, Zack Schwabauer RB /DB, Scott Avery WR/DB, Wade Kittle T/DE and Cory Carpenter DE return to give the Spartans experience. Cole McKenzie recorded a team high 978 receiving yards last year. In addition, Zack Schwabauer rushed a team high 815 yards as a sophomore. Collin Ramirez' prolific arm threw 1581 yards to a host of receivers. Coach Schwabauer plans to improve Red Bluff's run defense and kicking game. "We expect to make a strong run for the league title this year," said Schwabauer.
