Outlook: The Coast Union Broncos have the toughest schedule in school history. The Central Section realignment placed the Broncos in the newly formed Northwest Sierra. Coach David Clements added Central Section Division V Champion Bakersfield Christian to the schedule. In addition, they play section runner-up Fowler. In total, the last 4 years of Division V champions are on the schedule. Outstanding returning players to watch include Josh Jackson OLB/FB, John Jara QB/LB (3-year starter at LB and Returning starting QB), Noel Granada CB/WR (Returning starter at CB), John Fiscalini LB/TE (Returning starter at LB), Oscar Villalvazo C (Returning starter at Center), Nestor Hernandez RT, Darac Goodwin DE (Returning 3-year starter at DE) and Noel Torres OLB/OL (Returning starter at OLB). The Bronco have plenty of experience on the offensive line and defense, but Coach Clements is still looking for big playmakers to emerge. Nevertheless, Clements said, "We have the most dedicated group yet in the weight room and training sessions."
