QB Jose Garay (2700+ passing yards, 600+ rushing, 30+ TDs) and WR Manny Acosta (600+ yards receiving) will be joined by junior RB/SS Neiko Padilla (played SS last year). A quick offensive line will be led by Robert Cedeno at guard and Carlos Chacon at tackle. Defense could be a different story, with many holes to fill at LB and on the DL. If the league-champion JV team can successfully help fill those holes, the Eagles could be making another run at the Mission Valley League title. |
