Outlook: Last year, Northview High School tied for the Valle Vista league championship. With 13 starters returning, it appears that they have a strong shot at another one. Leading their offense once again will be QB Oscar Robles. Experience at QB will be important, as their two leading receivers (Kevin Jones and Anthony Farmer) return, but neither of their top two rushers of '07 return. Defensively, they'll need strong corner play to cover up inexperience at the safeties. Up front, they may be strong at defensive tackle and linebacker, but they will have to develop some guys at defensive end.
