Outlook: The Central Valley Christian Cavaliers should be quite a bit better this year compared to last year. The Cavaliers return 15 starters led by Mark Weststeyn OL/DL, Parker Anderson QB and Adam Velde RB/LB. Coach Ryan Phelan focuses on the student leadership because he realizes that taking this team experience to the next level requires committed student leadership and excellence. Central Valley Christian has some changes this year. They are moving to the Central Sequoia League and bringing on Mason Hughes as the new Offensive Coordinator/Line Coach. Coach Phelan said, "[We] should be much improved from last year. [We're] not a large team, so injuries should be a key."
