DL JR Nolan Box 51 tackles 3 sacks
DL Jr Marco Vergera 109 tackles 5 sacks

Notes:
The Golden Cranes made a great run last year all the way to the Quarterfinals. With only 11 returning lettermen that will be hard to duplicate, but behind a good group of Juniors they should at least win the district championship. Expect the Cranes to finish the regular season at 8-2 or 9-1 but a bi-district matchup vs. 1-2A teams like Bushland, Muleshoe or Littlefield may be as far as they go.
