Outlook: First year Head Coach Vince Isbell believes the Cordova Lancers will be improved and have better season despite coaching changes. Along with Isbell, the team adds a new offensive coach, receivers coach and defensive back coach. Key returning players include Alfred Allen WR/DB, Kortez Lee RB, Adam Braithwaite RB/LB, Peter Vang OL/DL and Matt Ildefonzo OL/DL. Lee was the second best runningback last year. According to insiders, the Lancers have good team chemistry, depth among the runningbacks and wide receivers and two good quarterbacks. The defensive play should be fast-paced. "The players get along and have great chemistry amongst themselves. Our goal (like most teams) is 14-0," concluded Coach Isbell.
