Outlook: Littlerock High could improve for 2008, but that will depend on the development, unity, and teamwork of players that may have been together for a long time, but may not have seen the field as much as you'd hope. While they only graduated 10 seniors (5 who started both ways), they were unable to field a JV team. That meant all available players were on the varsity, which spells trouble for depth. Overall, 20 players will be on the roster with 2 years on the varsity, so they'll know the coaches well and the coaches will know them well. There's a decent chance they'll improve on the 3 wins they earned last year, which will put them on the border for a playoff spot from the Golden League.
