Toughest game: Folsom (Calif.). Folsom won't be as good in 2011, but they will be much better than most people realize. They've improved each season under head coach Kris Richardson and have a more-than-capable replacement for National Player of the Year Dano Graves waiting in the wings.

Local outlook: Grant (Sacramento, Calif.), which has been on the national radar for a number of years, has some young talent that folks around the Pacers program are excited about. They'll be good once again. With Granite Bay, Lincoln (Stockton, Calif.) and others, the Sac-Joaquin Section will be deep in 2011.
Overall outlook: Pleasant Grove will impose its offensive will on teams. If its young players in the secondary and at the linebacker positions blossom, the Eagles will be heading to Carson for a CIF Bowl Game.
