Coaches Comments: We will be very young. A lot of players received playing time. So we return a lot of letterman to the program. District Outlook: Chapin, Burges, Andress, El Paso

Key Players:
* Michael Rasor Rb/Olb 6'0 190 2nd team All District RB could be a 1500 yd rusher. very explosive. 3yr starter

* Patrick Hernandez FB/LB
* Louis Mendoza LB
* Andrew Reyes LB

2012 JV Record: 3-7

Primary Offensive Formation: Pro Style

Primary Defensive Formation: 3-4

Notes:
* Improved from 2 wins in 2010 to 9 in 2011 to 10 in 2012 under now 4th year coach Marcus Graham

Mike Says: Last years 10 win season was the best in school history (began varsity play in 1955). Coach Graham has really turned things around here winning 19 games over the past 2 seasons after they went 21-31 in the 5 seasons before he arrived. They do not return a lot of lettermen or starters but this will be a solid team. Look for them to go 8-2 or 7-3 in the regular season and fight Andress and Chapin for the district title. They should then go 2 or 3 rounds in the playoffs.

Chris Says: El Paso Burges has been a steadily improving program. It is showing up not only on the field, but in the activity on Lone Star Gridiron. You see people talking about the program quite a bit more recently. The Mustangs graduated a lot of players but should still be in the running for the District 1-4A championship. They will have to battle but should be set for another two or three round playoff run.
