However, the Spartans also add a very talented 10-0 junior varsity squad. Top returning starters include Justin Nesbitt WR/DB/PR/KR, Lance Castenada WR/SS, Sam Price FB/DE, Jacob Hill TE/LB, Trevor Seever OL/DE and Thomas Hallam OL/DL. Nesbitt was last year's top receiver; he gained valuable multi-position experience. Coach Brad Goudeau and his staff are working hard to get the raw, inexperienced junior talent game-ready through spring practice, passing tourneys and summer conditioning. Goudeau thinks this team could be stronger than last season's team.
