Outlook: San Jacinto High School was able to make it all the way to the Southern Section East Valley Division title game (2nd year in a row), where they fell (2nd year in a row) for the 2nd time to fellow Mountain Pass League member, Citrus Hill. That success for the league has earned it a move up to the Eastern Division. The Tigers will be fairly experienced at the skill positions (with RBs Tony Austin and Adam Castellano, WR Matt Carlson) but not so much on the O-line. Defensively, San Jacinto was just about amazing, allowing only 11.4 points per game (only 1 of 2 teams to keep division champ Citrus Hill under 30). Seven starters return, including LB Alex Thom and DE Rene Gonzales. Although Citrus Hill remains the frontrunner for the league title, San Jacinto will probably remain their biggest challenger.
