Winner of four straight CIF championships, Oaks Christian ushers a fresh set of household names. Expect to hear a lot from player-of-the-future Malcolm Jones, Chris Potter and Chris Owusu, one of the area's fastest athletes.
One of the area's best defenses over the past decade, Oak Park has eight returning starters on that side of the ball as the program looks to make its fourth section final over the last five years.
With quality depth on both lines, experience in the defensive secondary and an exciting young quarterback, Carpinteria could field its best team since its unbeaten 2002 CIF championship team.
If the Rangers can avoid injuries that impacted the team last season, the top two teams had better watch out. Nordhoff has a rough stretch with five road games in a seven-week stretch.
How fast that Quinn Pawlick can develop as a quarterback, replacing injured Aaron Gomez, will go a long way in determining Santa Paula's season. The schedule gives Santa Paula a chance to gain momentum early in league season.
With its largest freshman class in the waiting, Grace Brethren looks to be a program on the rise. Opposing defensive secondaries will be tested by Grace Brethren's spread passing game.
