Outlook: The Pacific Grove Breakers will be playing their home games off-campus during the construction a new stadium and field. The Breakers will be strong upfront, led by all-state 6'4" 250 lbs Bill Tyndall OL/DL. Other players to watch include Andrew Sublett TE/FS, Tommy Merchak RB/CB, Ferny Cabral RB/LB and Max Lohr OL/DL. The experienced team also has a storied history of success to help them along the way, but they may struggle to replace several skill positions. Nevertheless, Coach Buck Roggeman's expectations are always high.
