2010 notes: QB Garrett has a chance to be special - he should at least hit the 2,000-yard total offense mark as a senior. WR Roberts, who caught 25 passes last year, gives him an excellent target. On defense, LB Rubin (85 tackles)?will be the leader. And there may not be a better DB in 3A than Thomas (4 INTs). The Mustangs have a few kinks to work out in the trenches, but the athleticism at the skill spots once again makes them a regional power.
