This is definitely the case with Rim of the World High School; 2008 is shaping up to be a nice upswing on that cycle. 14 starters return, including QB Corey Farley and RB Nick Toner (both will be juniors this fall). The people-movers in front of them will be led by guard Sean Roddick and tackle Jacob Ringhofer. The defense only allowed 16.5 points per game last year, so with 7 starters returning, the Fighting Scots figure to get even better. Overall, Rim of the World High was fairly young last year, and they held their own, qualifying for the Southern Section Eastern Division playoffs. This fall (and in '09), they should be returning to the playoffs and could make some noise once they arrive.
