Outlook: Bonita Vista tied for 2nd place last year in the Mesa League and figure to again be in the hunt for the league title. QB Hector Castellanos returns to lead an offense that struggled a bit early last year, but he came alive during league play to the tune of 27.7 points per league game. RB duties will be mainly performed by Ibrahim Hassan, who saw a number of carries last year. Coach Carl Parrick likes how his passing game should look, but he is concerned about the relative inexperience of his defense (only 4 starters return). While the Baron D may not be able to achieve the impressive 15.8 points allowed per game last year, if they come close, the team could fare well overall.
