Outlook: Ayala High School narrowly missed the Sierra League title in '07. The Bulldogs should be back to challenge in '08 with 14 starters returning. Although Coach Tom Inglima will have to break in a new QB (probably Dylan Lada), he feels that there will be improvement on the offensive line. That should make RB Courtney Samuel happy. Another factor that could help is a move from the Southern Section Inland Division to the Central Division. Look for the Bulldogs to make a potentially deep run in the playoffs.
