2009 record: 4-2 Central California Conference, 6-5 overall

Head coach: Brandon Harris (5th year)

Assistants: Anthony Hrmas, Jason Avelar, Rich Backar, Don Curtiss, Dustin Curtiss, Jon Derr, Spike Hindman, Spenser Hopkins, Jordan Inabnit, David May, Rick Mitchell, Thad Moren, Jerry Passarelli, Eric Reza, Brant Rose, Kris Shaw, Spenser Snodgrass, Matt Staack, Dave St. Clair, Matt Staack, Braden Sweeney Robert Thomas, Tom Tyler, Chris Wolfley

Top returners: Jaime Lemus, AJ Derr, Dominick Walker, Tre Vargas, Tyson Beaune, Alex Rodriguez, Shea Patterson, Steven Nava, Nathan Ortiz, Lukas HibdonTop newcomers:  Andy Mendes, Dakota Selfridge, Ken Acasio, Mino Moua

Outlook: The Pride isn’t heavy with returners or seniors, but the expectations are the same. They want to win the Central California Conference and compete for a playoff spot. It’s a new team, but this year’s players have all been taught well. Most of them watched and learned from the sideline in 2009, when the Pride had a strong league run that was highlighted by upsetting Merced before going on to play in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I postseason. This year, the offensive line will be key to set up players like first-year varsity quarterback AJ Derr and running back Dominick Walker, who is expected to garner many yards.
