Outlook: How exciting must it be for your school to win a sectional championship before your first full senior class? Such is the case for Citrus Hill High School, the 2007 East Valley Division champions. This year's move up to the Eastern Division has brought a new aspiration... Carson in December! "Our goals have not changed after winning a CIF title, and we expect to be considered for a state bowl; it sounds crazy but it's possible if things work out," stated Coach Doug Dubois. The facts that they return so much and neither the Varsity nor JV teams lost last year mean this team certainly does raise an eyebrow. QB Caleb Herring and RB Deontae Cooper had terrific years in '07. Coach Dubois feels that the secondary, led by CB Dennis Fite, is the strength of his defense.
