The 2008 Bruin team is young but talented. They will be a power to contend with if the team can gel together. Leading running back Lyndell Scarr, who recorded 1558 rushing yards, was the 2007 Sac-Joaquin Section Honorable Mention as a sophomore and Co-Offensive MVP in the Sierra Valley Conference. All-Leaguers Steven Brown FB/LB, Blake Bengtson TE/P and Keith Jonutz Center also return to lead the Bruins toward experience and success. "I expect us to compete with everyone on our schedule and to get back to the playoffs," coach Jason Tenner stated. "We have lofty goals, considering what we are losing, but we will work hard to establish this program as one to watch this year."
