SUNRISE MOUNTAIN

Returning letter winners: Four

Top players: Xitlaly Manzo-Guerrero (Sr.), Brittany Sousa (Sr.), Venus Burnaugh (Sr.), Shyloh Lucero (Sr.)

Outlook: Hobbs, who previously coached at Western, takes over a team still in search of its first varsity victory.

“We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. That can be a dangerous combination.”
