Team Outlook

Bovina Mustangs (Maroon, White) - Head Coach Kent Torbert -  (8-12-0) @ Bovina and  (8-12-0) Overall, Offense (Multiple), Defense (50), returns 16 letterman 8 offensive 8 defensive starters with 3 letterman lost from a (2-8) team.   Bovina returns (3) 1st All-District players.  JV Record (2-2).  Overall Strength - defense, Offensive strength - receiver, offensive line, Defensive strength - linebacker, cornerback, defensive back.  Notes from the Coach: Older and wiser.  We only lost 3 seniors to graduation.  We must find a QB early.  We feel like we can compete for a playoff spot.  We will still be young, but all of our sophomores played a great deal as freshman in 2004.  We have a good senior class, only 4 juniors.  But our sophomore and freshman have a chance at being exceptional.

 

Farwell Steers (Blue, White) - Head Coach Jacob Thompson -  (22-19-0) @ Farwell and  (22-19-0) Overall, Offense (Multiple I), Defense (Split / 50), returns 10 letterman 4 offensive 5 defensive starters with 7 letterman lost from a (5-5) team.  JV Record (2-5-2).  Overall Strength - offense, Offensive strength - running back, Defensive strength - linebacker.  Notes from the Coach: This team should be better offensively and about the same defensively as last year's team.  Nazareth and Earth both have a lot of experience returning, so they should be district favorites.  But my group of boys returning is very talented and should make a push for the playoffs.

 

Hart Longhorns (Maroon, White) - Head Coach Jay McCook -  (16-24-0) @ Hart and  (16-24-0) Overall, Offense (NA), Defense (NA), returns 16 letterman 8 offensive 8 defensive starters with 5 letterman lost from a (1-9) team.
