Outlook: Although Patriot High School may have had a disappointing 2007 season, 14 returning starters makes for an optimistic 2008. QB Miles Basham and RB Ken Braden head an offense that could possibly deal with depth issues on the line. Despite an offense that, at times, struggled last year, the defense allowed a respectable 21.7 points per game. With a lot of experience coming back, the Warriors program is looking up. Says Coach Kevin Corridan, "We will be much improved from a 2-8 2007 in which we were in every game with a chance to win but did not finish. This year's team is very optimistic about our potential and will be playing for a Sunkist league championship in 2008."
