Outlook: As with many programs, once the leadership becomes stable and consistent, good things tend to develop. Ontario High School used to be a perennial cellar-dweller in the Mt. Baldy League, but now that Coach Steve Randall has been there a couple of years, things may be turning around. Although Coach Randall has concerns about overall depth for his team, one thing he has little concern about is their athletic ability. The Jaguars have stepped up the intensity of their offseason program and hope to see some of the benefits through ball carriers like Desmond Newton and Ray Lazard. If this team can stay healthy, a playoff spot may not be out of the question.
