Outlook: As is often the case with new coaches, it takes time for a new system to take hold within a program. Coach Kevin Williams believes that the time may be this fall for the El Camino Real High School football team. In his first year, great improvement was already evident, and now coach Williams believes this team will take another leap in competitiveness. With new QB Ryan Meier, the passing game is expected to improve, but you can't forget about junior RB Rashon Harper, who put up about 1300 yards of rushing last year. Defensively, the Conquistadors will be relying on LBs Jarreld Hines and Logan Bates to help improve from what was an already decent 20.3 points per game average allowed in 2007.
