Outlook: Lakeside High School had a promising start to the 2007 season, but it turned sour once league play arrived. Despite returning 6 starters from last year's offense, the top QB, RB, and WR aren't among them. All of the players taking over those spots did see the field, however. Brandon Guerrero will assume the QB spot, Jacob Waynick the RB, and one of the top WRs might be Donnie Pollard. The O-line will be led by C Jimmy Vargas. Defensively, it appears that the Lancers will have to improve greatly if they are to compete well against Sunbelt favorites Paloma Valley and Elsinore. Coach Trevor Watters believes that some new additions, such as S Kyle Linton and LB/TE Andrew Santucci should help matters. It's difficult to say how much this team will improve, but we believe that the upgraded non-league schedule should have Lakeside better prepared for the Sunbelt League schedule.
