2016-17 Mojave Flag Football Capsule Preview

MOJAVE

Head coach: Andrew Kofod, fifth season

2015-16 record: 9-13 (6-4 Sunset, third)

Returning letter winners (starters): Five (four)

Top players: RB/LB Anahi Rosales (Jr.), QB Maria Luisa Valencia (Jr.), QB Jaszmine Oseguera (Jr.)

Outlook: The Rattlers return only four starters from last year’s squad and will have to stay healthy as they’re starting the season with only 13 players on the varsity roster.

Valencia and Oseguera each threw seven touchdown passes last year and return to guide the offense. Rosales (82 tackles) is back to guide the defense.

“The Lady Rattlers will look to make another playoff run,” Kofod said.
