DEL NORTE KNIGHTS
Head Coach: Bruce Langston (1st Year)
2019 Record: 4-6 overall, 2-1 district
2019 Playoffs: Missed Playoffs
Key Returning Players: Isaiah Ortiz (RB/2021); Adrian Marquez (QB/2021); Cruz Garcia (CB/2022)
Review: The Del Norte Knights under former head coach Bruce Binkley achieved great heights as being a school in a tough area to build a power program. They continued to float around their 2019 record at 4-6 and featured some playoff appearance and that could be considered an overachievement. The Knights won 3 of their last 4 games to end the Binkley era and were 6-points shy of a district championship.
Preview: The good news for new head coach Bruce Langston is the return of athlete Isaiah Ortiz who rushed for nearly 1,700 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. The Knights have some solid skilled position players returning, some depth in areas and the lone replacement could be the receiving core - pending the style of play they will display in 2020.
Early Prediction: 3-5 wins
