LAST SEASON
1st place in Wesco North (8-0, 11-1)
RETURNING STARTERS:
Offense 3; Defense 3
LOOK AHEAD
The 2006 4A state champions will have a multitude of new faces after a 2007 undefeated regular season. Dave Ward, who coached the Wildcats for 17 seasons, has moved on to 2A state power Archbishop Murphy and will be replaced by Jay Turner, who has been with the program for 12 years, serving as defensive coordinator for the past eight. The Wildcats will have to replace six 2008 Wesco first-team performers — including quarterback Johnny Encinas.

COACHES COMMENT
“ We graduated most of our starters from last season. Our success depends on how quickly the young players can adapt to playing on Friday nights.
