Outlook: Not only do the Yellowjackets return 13 starters from last year, 9 will be three-year starters (5 on offense, 4 on defense). Many of the returners are skill position players, but the defensive line will be pretty new. Look for Oxnard to have good team speed in 2008. They were impressive at the Cal-State Monterey Bay summer camp. Teams from the Pacific View League has struggled to make noise in the Southern Section Northern Division playoffs, having only 1 team advance to the semifinals in the last 5 years, but the Yellowjackets could break that trend this fall.
