Outlook: 2-time defending Southern Section Southwest Division champ, El Dorado High School, may see their streak finally come to an end this fall. There are bright spots, such as the fact that they return their starting QB, Kane Wilson and linebackers Billy Henley and Kevin O'Connell, not to mention that the incoming JV team went 7-3 last year. Still, with only 7 starters returning, it would be tough to imagine another division title defense. Considering, however, that no one in the Century League was able to stay closer than 17 points to the Golden Hawks last year, another league title would not be out of the question at all.
