Outlook: I doubt it ever gets boring for La Jolla Country Day to win league titles. They have won the last 3 (the Pacific League has only been an 11-man league for 3 years). Overall, this year's edition will be a bit young with a number of sophomore and junior starters such as JR QB Derek Hatfield (league offensive MVP in 2007). Despite the youth, the Torres will be fairly experienced, as all of the skill position players return. The main question mark lies with the offensive line play, where they only return 2 starters.
