With 8 starters returning on offense, it appears that the Falcons will be looking to advance past the 1st round this fall. 4 O-linemen, who saw significant action last year, return, including Mark Solano and Jorge Atilano, and they'll be blocking for a 1500+ yard-rusher, junior Darius Nacoste. Question marks regarding the experience on D remain. Valley averaged a respectable 17.9 points per game allowed last year, but they will need nice long drives from the offense to help out the young D, which only returns 4 starters. Still, Coach Larry Mohr believes his team has what it takes to compete for a league title.
