Outlook: The Washington Eagles return 15 starters, including All-City Solomon Walker TE/DE, Grandville Taylor MLB/FB and Jorge Vidrio C/DT. Taylor was the team's lead rusher and tackler last year. The Eagles will have a strong offensive and defensive line with lot of talent among the incoming juniors. Coach Karl Finley expects an improved team, but "we have to get past Lincoln HS; they will be a great coached team again with a lot of talent."
