Team Twitter account: @BoscofootballOutlook: Many in Southern California believe they'll need to see St. John Bosco lose again before they believe that the Braves aren't the best in the nation, a testament to how utterly dominant the team was in 2013. This team has some clear holes that need to be addressed, but it has capable replacements as well. Don't be surprised if Bosco is once again playing for a Pac-5 title this season - and maybe even contending for a state title.
