Mr. O'Meara is a chemistry teacher at Sonoma Valley High School and Mr. Mulas is a successful dairyman. Congratulations Coaches! The Sonoma Valley Dragons return seven starters and many other players with game experience. Michael Mulas FB/ILB, Jake Powers QB, Steve Filippi WR, Sam Prohoroff OG, Tyler Woods OG, and Bradley Ramirez DE/ILB will be the leaders of the Dragons this year. Michael Mulas is a three-year starter, voted as Defensive Player of the Year as a junior in the Redwood Empire. He recorded 188 tackles/assists, 7 sacks as well as some rushing and receiving yards. According to insiders, Mulas is a DI recruit prospect. Core offensive skill players include Jake Powers and Steve Filippi. Powers threw 1627 yards last year. This group of seniors was 8-2 junior varsity champions without Mulas, who was on the varsity in 2006. The Dragons will struggle with the lack of depth. Also, the valuable tailback position may be filled by committee unless someone steps forward with the desire and determination to fill the role. Coach O'Meara concluded, "We expect to compete for the Sonoma county league title. We expect to be a playoff caliber team."
