"The key to the Guards success will lie in the gelling and work of the OL," says Coach Rolando Aguirre of needing to replace 4 starters for that group. There will apparently be an open competition for the QB spot, but there is a lot of excitement about a newcomer at WR, Micah Shirley. "Last year's leaders on defense are returning. So the Santa Fe League's leading defense will be strong once again," adds Coach Aguirre.
