Outlook: Coach Ernie Mendoza thinks his Overfelt Royal Knights will be much better than last year with a very balanced team. Outstanding returning starters include Erwin Taliaoa RB/DB, Manuel Delatorre RB/DB, James Ortega OL/DL and Jacob Sagote OL/DL. What the Royal Knights lack in experience, they will make up in a good offensive line and running game. The team has been able to train in a new weight room this year.
