Outlook: Capistrano Valley Christian had its ups and downs in 2007, winning some games by wide margins and losing some by wide margins. In the world of small-enrollment high schools, the gaps in talent can appear exaggerated, and even when head coaches call off the dogs, it sometimes might appear so on the scoreboard. Unfortunately, the Eagles look like they may fall victim to these circumstances more frequently than not this fall, since they return only 6 starters from a team that finished 4-6, and the incoming JV team finished 1-7. Some bright spots do exist and could end up being building blocks toward success down the road. Coach Chris Fore reports lineman Lance de Haas has numerous scholarship offers and that team unity, speed, strength, and work ethic have actually increased.
