Outlook: Burbank High School is hoping that the experience at QB (Kevin Hunter) will propel them into the playoffs. Coach Ted Amorosi is very excited about the 2008 season. "We are expecting a great year. The off-season has been tremendous after staff was hired in May 2007. 2nd year in the program and schemes should be a big year." In many cases, a new coaching staff takes a couple of years to install a new program. Although the incoming JV team was solid, the Bulldogs are only returning 9 starters from a year ago.
