Outlook: This will be Coach Deon Toliver's 3rd year at the helm of the Leuzinger High School football team, and he now feels his system is firmly in place. Executing that system will be 10 returning starters, including QB Te'shon Burton. Keeping him upright will be a focus, though, as the offensive line will not be as experienced as Coach Toliver would like. Defensively, they are very happy to have SS Dijon Washington and CB Semaj Harris (both of whom may also see time at WR) protecting the Lawndale skies. Last year, the D was a pretty solid group, only allowing 14.8 points per game. LB Issac Foster and DL Sam Williams join the aforementioned DBs to see to it that the D is strong again.
