We won the [section] title in 2003-2004, and we have the same goal every year. Last year was a down year because the injury bug hit us." The Miramonte Matadors return eleven starters from last year. Alex Benvanue LT/RT, James King FS/WR, Kevin Paulsen RB and Connor Lowery QB/RB/S/CB SR expect to make a real difference on the 2008 Matadors team. They are fast on both sides of the ball, have a strong O-Line, and can control the clock. Coach Wade will be working hard to compensate for a young defense.
