No 2 SIERRA PACIFIC GOLDEN BEARS (7-6) (3-3 ESL) 
Last year the Golden Bears went (4-7) (3-2 E Seq)
Head Coach Dion Tate
The Golden Bears return plenty of players from last year. One Golden Bears that won’t be back will be outstanding QB Will Springer who has decided to not play football and focus on baseball. That’s a huge blow to the Golden Bears.
The defensive senior leader is linebacker Connor Chennault. Running back Matt Alfaro is looking to have a big year. Senior receiver Jayson Littlejohn is very good.
The X factor is the QB play because rest of the team is good.

Last year the Titans went (3-8) (2-1 E Sierra)
Head Coach Tony Gates
Plenty of Titan players return this year so look for this team to make a run at the division 6 championship. The QB will be sophomore Zack Ramirez who was brought up in the playoffs last year and did a great job. The main running back will be Mario Reynosa. Carlos Jimenez will anchor the line.

Last year the Cougars went (3-7) (0-3 E Sierra)
Head Coach Casey Quinn
This is coach Quinn’s 2nd year and the players are buying into the Cougars system. The Cougars will be so much better this year.
Plenty return this year for the Cougars. The new QB will be Julian Avila who can move around with speed. Julian transferred in from Coach Quinn’s old team Chavez.
Senior Alex Patino is a beast at running back. Senior Vicente Hernandez, leads the wide receivers.
Leading the defense will be seniors Alexis Ruiz (LB), and Daniel Chaidez (LB).

No 7 MINARETS MUSTANGS (4-7) (2-4 WSL)
Last year the Mustangs went (2-8) (1-3 W Seq)
Head Coach Becher Marr
Last year the Mustangs had all the potential but off the field issues and the Mustangs just never got it going.
This year will be much different because the seniors on this team won’t let that crap happen again. This is a hard working Mustangs team!
Minarets returns every skill position starter from last season and is looking to have the biggest roster in years. The improved roster size means less guys playing two ways and much more competitive in the 2nd half of games. This roster Includes a dominant Defensive secondary that didn’t allow anybody to win in the air last season and returns every position. Offensively Minarets has too many weapons to count for such a small school from running back to all 5 of the top receivers, which showed all summer in 7 on 7 competition where they competed with a ton of D1 schools. The main weapons being their two outside receivers with seniors Zack Redman and Preston Conti both standing 6’2” about 180 lbs. The QB will be junior Martin Urroz who had a very good summer.
This is a team that should be looking at a big upside if they pull together defensively.
The X factor will be the O-line and run defense.
