Outlook: The Firebaugh Eagles should be about the same level as last season. Look for outstanding athlete Gerry Aguayo WR/DB/QB/Kick Returner, Randy Preciado FB/LB and Sylvester Yanez TE/LB/DE to make major contributions this season. The Eagles' well-coached strengths will be their running game, defense and offensive Line. Coach Brandon Moody will be working hard to improve the team's field goal unit.
