OCVarsity previews football teams for the 2008-09 season.

Brethren Christian

Last season: 4-6, 1-2 (third)

Postseason: 2004, lost to Campbell Hall, 24-7, in Division XIII first round

Coach: Bruce Eien (13th year, 55-66-4)

Outlook: The Warriors return only four starters on each side of the ball but they return standout running back/safety Drew Fabrigas. They are hoping Fabrigas and Matt Bodziak form a dynamic duo in the backfield. The Warriors return only one starting linemen, so that will be an area to watch. Coach Bruce Eien likes his team's overall speed.

Home stadium: Brethren Christian

Factoid: The Warriors are using portable lights to play night games on their campus this season.

Strongest: Drew Fabrigas

Fastest: Drew Fabrigas
