The Tigers return thirteen starters and add a talented 10-0 junior varsity squad to this year's team. Valuable players quarterback Spencer Brubaker, wide receiver Neil Campbell, running back Alberto Martinez (924 rushing yards) and tackle Kurtis Fambrough (90 total tackles in 2007) will lead the 2008 team. Spenser Brubaker recorded 713 passing yards and 221 rushing yards last season. Coach Heskett notes speed as the team strength; overall front size is a drawback.
