Outlook: The defending Prep League champs, Rio Hondo Prep, is only returning 7 starters from 2007. The standouts for this year's team will be RB/DB Tim Esguerra, OL/DL Eddie Garcia, and FB/LB Antonio Alaniz. Chris Llamas is expected to take over at QB. A good JV team is on the way, so any slip in the program shouldn't last long. With an improved Flintridge Prep and the youth on this Kare team, it will be difficult for a league title repeat, but a playoff spot in the Southern Section Northeast Division is definitely a possibility.
