The Strathmore Spartans will need the leadership of Jessie Soria RB/CB who was the team's second best producing rusher as a sophomore. The Spartans will have a solid offensive line and a good running game. Additionally, Harmony Magnet Academy is opening a campus adjacent to the high school that will positively affect the Pirates' enrollment constitution. "[We had] great losses in talent, but the goal of a championship is intact with realignment of the Sierra division's creation of a new division VI--in which we will be very competitive," said Coach Blackwell.
