Outlook: Last year, Yucca Valley struggled at times in the De Anza League. It does not appear as if the Trojans are ready to make a move up in the standings. Only 8 starters return (4 on each side of the ball) and the incoming JV team played around .500 ball last year. Another 4th place finish in the league may be in order.
