The Delano Tigers return outstanding players Alex Cabalona RB, Cecilio Saucedo WR, Amandeep Singh WR and Mychal Quiddam OLB/RB as well as several other key players. The Tigers strength will be their offensive line consisting of DI recruit prospect Mario Abundes OT, Erwin Pop OG, Pete Permejo OG and Francisco Failano OG. Abundes has generated more DI interest than any other player has since Osbaldo Orozco went to Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo. (As a side note to Tigers fans, the making of a hero can be seen very early in life.) As the new coaching staff installs different offensive schemes, the tigers will be working hard to adapt and excel. Coach Brown believes the year-round condition program will reap rewards as time passes.
