Outlook: Warren High School finished with a 6-5 record, in 3rd place in the San Gabriel Valley League, and qualified for the Southern Section Western Division playoffs. 9 starters return from that team including RB/CB Jesse Callier (over 1000 yards rushing), TE/DL Augafa Vaaulu, and WR/DB Bailey Cowins (over 40 catches and more than 650 yards). Explaining that these players are going to be just juniors this fall only paints half the picture. What is even more impressive is that the incoming JV team still managed to go 10-0! What might hold the Bears back a little is having to rebuild the offensive line. Still, there could be a slight improvement this year. New Head Coach Chris Benadom hopes his squad will finish near the top of the league standings. Warren might not be a major threat to win the league outright this fall, but look out for 2009.
