Outlook: Pomona High School is looking to improve on a 2-8 record from last year. While the lines will have good experience, the Red Devils will have to break in a new QB, but there should be a greater familiarity with the offense overall. The defense, with 6 starters returning, could be a bit stronger. Unfortunately, a great deal of help may not be on the way from a similarly 2-8 incoming JV team.
