Key newcomers: David Gros (Fr., F);
Alex Arvizo (Fr., D); Christian Slough -(Fr., MF).
Outlook: Plain and simple, the Sartans do not lose in the opening round of the State Tournament, so nothing less than a return to their perennial perch will be acceptable. The district race will be spicier with traditional rival Albuquerque Academy back, although some of the luster might be gone from the rivalry with the series of coaching changes in the Northeast Heights.
Fun Fact: The Sartans will be making a trip to Washington D.C. to play DeMatha and St. Albain's.
