Glendora is returning starting QB Drew Kaluzny and an RB that wasn't the leading rusher for the Tartans last fall, but had a significant role, in Andre Holmes. Defensively, look for Eric Meraz at DB, Chac Young at LB, and Cole Beck at DL. Glendora will also benefit from a solid incoming JV team (who went 9-1 in '07). One of the most interesting developments may actually be in their realignment into the Central Division of the Southern Section. While the Tartans had a very solid year in '07, they were no match for the eventual CIF State D-I finalist, Corona Centennial in the Inland Division. This new division could open an opportunity for a title run this fall and possibly even in '09.
