El Dorado

Last season: 13-1, 5-0

Postseason: 2007, defeated Trabuco Hills, 13-12 in Southwest Division championship

Coach: Jeff Bailey (5th year, 37-12-1)

Outlook: The Golden Hawks might enter as the favorite to win another league title, but there are areas of concern. A lack of experience on both the offensive and defensive lines is enough to possibly put a fourth consecutive title in jeopardy. However, with quarterback Kane Wilson and a strong linebacking corp led by Billy Henley, it wouldn't be a surprise if El Dorado wins the league again.

Home stadium: Valencia High

Factoid: Kane Wilson scored a combined 28 touchdowns last season.

Strongest: Kane Wilson

Fastest: Ryan Cardenas

School record: 246-200-7

Players to watch
	Kane Wilson Senior quarterback passed for 2,335 yards and rushed for 424 last season		Billy Henley Senior linebacker recorded 95 tackles last season and will be one of the defensive leaders
