Stevenson Bulldogs
2009 record: 3-6 (2-3 1A Trico)
Coach: Craig McKee.
Key players: Brody Pestana, sr., rb/lb; Wade Huett, sr., ol/dl; Zach Castro, sr., qb; Kyle Russell, sr., wr/db; Dylan Ohnemus, sr, ol/dl; Christian Morris, sr. rb/lb; Kevin Jaco, sr., wr/db; Chris Brill, sr., ol/dl.
Team outlook: With 14 seniors, including several returning first-team all-leaguers (among them quarterback Zach Castro) the Bulldogs plan to be a factor in the battle for the Trico League title. To do that, they will need to win the close games they lost a year ago. Coach Craig McKee said that comes down to shedding the team’s expectations. Said McKee, “We’ve just got to get over the hump and start believing in ourselves when the game is on the line.”
