The skill positions should be solid for the Indians, but Coach Dean Herrington is a little concerned about his O-line, where he is starting 2 sophomores. Defensively, the biggest change may not ever show up in the box scores. Rick Herrington left Hart High School and landed in Mission Hills to be the defensive coordinator at Alemany (same position he had at Hart). In all, Head Coach Herrington has high aspirations for 2008. "I feel we could repeat as league champions and could make a nice run in the playoffs," he said.
