Outlook: The defending Mesa League champion Eastlake High School may be a little hard-pressed to repeat the success they had last season. There appears to be just too many personnel losses. The Titans do have returners on the offensive line (such as Owen Breeden (C) and Ruben Cardenas (T)), but they are almost decimated at the skill positions. On defense, they return leaders in Tony Jefferson (SS) and Patrick Jarin (LB), but Coach McFadden will be mostly relying on newcomers that he describes as athletic but young.
