RANCHO ALAMITOS VAQUEROS

Coach: Mike Enright (15th year, 73-73-2)

Last season: 4-7 overall, 3-2 league

Scouting report: The Vaqueros have their sights on finishing higher than third place in league. They might be able to do it with 17 starters returning, led by quarterback Nick Brown. Coach Mike Enright said the team’s experience and work ethic will be keys to success this season. However, depth is a concern. The offense should be in good hands with Brown and receiver Devin Velez (54 receptions, 866 yards, six TDs). Velez also had five interceptions last season. Linebacker Mark Reyes will look to repeat his strong performance last season. The Vaqueros should be in the mix for a return trip to the playoffs.

Players to watch: Alberto Meneses, Sr.; Mark Reyes, Sr.; Robert Tran, Jr.; Wilson Tran, Sr.; Devin Velez, Sr.
