Outlook: Ontario Christian High School had a fairly nice season in '07, narrowly missing the Christian League title and advancing to the 2nd round of the Southern Section East Valley Division playoffs. It appears as if the Knights may have to pay for some of that success this year, though, as they only return 5 starters. If there are beacons of light, they are that their QB, Andrew Lachelt, is only a junior, and the incoming JV team, although only finishing 6-4, were league champs. RB Elijah Winton saw extensive action last year, so expect him to get a large number of carries this fall. On defense, the aforementioned Winton at DE and Alex Sabio at LB will be expected to help the newcomers adjust to the varsity level.
