•League favorite Savanna's Dominique Williams averaged 15 points and eight rebounds last season, when he was all-league first team. …
•Magnolia has not qualified for a playoff berth in eight seasons, but this could be the year that the Sentinels end that streak. Rap Dantic, also one of the leading running backs in county football, was all-league first team last season. …
•Joseph Aihara returns as Western's coach. He coached at Oxford Academy last year. …
•Century has David Murillo back for his senior year. Murillo could be among the league's leading scorers. …
•Anaheim's Vince Gomez was all-league last season. …
•Valley was hit harder than any other league team by graduation, so his likely is a rebuilding year for the Falcons.
