Outlook: The Southwest High School football team struggled to a 2-7 record last year. Part of that struggle (being youth), however, provides hope for 2008 as 16 starters return, including RB Rosendo "Chendo" Luna. Coach Martinez feels his team's strengths will be with the running game and in the secondary. If there is a place for concern for the Raiders, however, it has to be at the line of scrimmage where there will be a number of new faces.
