The team is excited to play under stadium lights at home this year. Outstanding players like Travis Lorius TE/DE, Daniel Montesano LB (45 tackles, 27 assists last year), Justin Souza RB/DB and Jon Meyer OL/DL will help bring experience to an otherwise inexperienced group. There is plenty of speed on defense, and the offense is young but talented. "Our team should be very competitive," Coach Mark Krail observed. "Oak Grove [San Jose, CA] is the annual favorite in our Mt. Hamilton division of the BVAL. Then, there appears to be tremendous parity from there."
