Outlook: Burroughs High School very nearly pulled off a big upset in last year's Southern Section Central Division playoffs over the eventual champion, Colony. Coach Keith Knoop believes his 2008 squad should be better than last year. 12 starters return, 7 on offense. Although newcomer Lucas Yanes will start at QB, 1000-yard-rusher Dominique Barnes will be back at RB. Chris Morris, a very productive WR, also returns. Defensively, the Indians will be relying a great deal on their DL, (led by Jordan Lawrence) and the secondary, with Eddie Lopez. Depth is a concern, but if they can remain relatively healthy, they feel they have the Pacific League title in their sights.
