An incoming 9-0 JV team is a good place to start. QB Nate Burnaman returns, as do a pair of RBs J.W. Morgan and Divance Walker. Burnaman's top targets will likely be 2-time All-Desert Sky League selection at WR, Darin Duncan, and Honorable Mention WR Daryl Buchanan. In order to really turn things around, however, the defense will really need to improve over their 35.4 point per game allowed average from a year ago. Coach Leland Eudy has installed a new weightlifting program that has made a significant difference. He also stated that he feels that overcoming the last two seasons will take a total commitment from both the players and the coaches and he feels his team has made that.
