Leading the offense will be new QB Kevin Chapple, who was an All-Golden West League selection at WR last season. He will be protected by an experienced O-line with Christian Dunlap, Jesus Hernandez, Christopher Ross, and Edwin Galoia. The most exciting player on offense will be last year's Golden West League MVP, Aaron Garbutt, who had over 1000 yards total offense. Defensively, Coach Ted McMillen feels that the Lions will be even better than last year. With the move to the Southern Division, Westminster immediately should become among the leading contenders for the title.
