Outlook: Coach Milo Miller expects this year to be a rebuilding season. Outstanding returning players include Matt Forsyth OL/DL, Christian Coddington TE/LB, Noel McCormack RB/DB, Ryan Hansford WR/DB, Travis Stockton RB/DB, Michael Layton WR/DB and Aaron Adams RB/DB. The Clear Lake Cardinals return only 5 seniors and one junior. The offensive and defensive line will be especially difficult having only two players returning to the same position. Fortunately, there is skill position depth and lots of team speed. The added junior varsity squad brings good talent and success with them.
