Coach Brian Sipe has hopes of not only improving on their 3-6-1 record of a year ago, but he also hopes to make yet another Qualcomm Stadium appearance for a San Diego Section title. A year of experience should significantly help junior QB Keaton Gianotti. You might want to keep an eye out for a big and fast junior OLB named Kurt Leudtke. As is the case for many schools with an enrollment of fewer than 500 students, depth is a major issue, and many Eagle players will be going both ways.
