Unfortunately, only 5 starters return, including QB Mike Davis. Coach Brett Pape feels pretty good about his skill position players, but he knows that his linemen on both sides of the ball will be very inexperienced. On the upside, a 9-1 JV team is set to try to help the Antelopes fill the gaps. To complicate matters for Antelope Valley is the fact that their new stadium may not be complete until mid-season.
