We believe this team can make a serious run to the championship!!" Coach Manuel Douglas has a very high outlook on the upcoming season for Narbonne High School. We can't entirely disagree. The Gauchos return 14 starters, including QB Josh Moten, RB Thomas Tucker, and WR/DB Byron Moore. Defensively, DE Tim Tucker, DB Sean Parker, and DL Justin Jackson look to help a defense that already allowed a stellar 14.2 points-per-game last year. Of slight concern, Coach Douglas acknowledges that his team is not especially deep along the lines. If Narbonne can stay healthy, then they really could be one of the top teams in the Los Angeles City Section.
