Outlook: Coach Kusleika does not believe in "rebuilding years". Despite the relative inexperience in the 2008 Alta Loma football program, he believes that his guys have the speed and work ethic to be better than their 4-6 record of a year ago. They'll get a boost from a 7-3 2007 JV team. Ray Wilson is expected to take over the QB spot and he'll be protected by the likes of Nate Gonzales and Kyle Ellis on the OL. Travis Coons is expected to make an impact for the Braves in the secondary.
