Outlook: San Ramon Valley Wolves of Danville are the defending North Coast Section, Division 3A Champions. The Wolves return only 4 starters from the championship team. Some of the key players to look for in this year's team are Joe Southwick QB, Garrison Goodman LB, Nick Russo SS, Bryce Peterson DB/WR and Byron Gruendl LB/WR. They were the strongest on offense. Coach Dave Kravitz reported that he expects his Wolves to be about the same as last year. San Ramon Valley must have had a tremendous off-season to garner the same team level with only four returning starters.
