Coach: Brian Whitaker (16th year)

2007 finish: Won Southeast League, second in Sunrise Region and fourth at Class 4A state meet.

Returning letterwinners: Six

Top athletes: Ryan Cross (Sr.), Jered Heter (Jr.), Morgan Stotts (Jr.), Joseph Hensel (So.)

Outlook: The Skyhawks were runner-ups at state in 2004 and 2006, a regional runner-up last year and regional champions in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

That kind of excellence isn't likely to end, with Silverado returning six lettermen — including four-year letterman Cross.
