Kickoff '08: Tustin Tillers

OCVarsity.com

Tustin

Last season:  4-6, 2-3

Postseason: 2006, lost to Trabuco Hills, 30-28, first round  of Southwest Division playoffs

Coach: Myron Miller (14th year, 99-56-1)

Outlook: The Tillers missed the playoffs last season....that  shouldn't be the case this year. Coach Miller is expecting big things from the  running back duo of Anthony Wilkerson and Ameer Webb. If the senior combination  delivers, then the Tillers could contend for the league title.

Home stadium: Tustin  High

Factoid: Anthony Wilkerson averaged five yards a carry last  year.

Strongest: Chris Robinson

Fastest: Anthony Wilkerson

School record: 347-258-3

Players to watch
Taylor Richardson
Rushed for 611 yards last year and earned all-league honors. Will play quarterback this season
 Chris Robinson.....Transfer from Salinas will see action at both defensive end and tight end. Coach Miller calls him a "physical specimen"
