Andrew Murphy, Tito Miranda, Jesse Padella and Cole Nelson lead the offensive and defensive lines. Brett Bell TE, Brandon Shumacher RB and All-League Stan Moody carry the skill positions.

The Tomales Braves expect to have a three-peat league championship title this season and gain a good North Coast Section, Division B berth.
