OUTLOOK

The Vaqueros will be talented at skill positions but vulnerable to injuries. Case lost four starters, two of them two-way starters, to grade problems and he only has 25 out for varsity. “We’re down anyway and this compounds it,� Case said. “The young kids are going to have to step up.� Rancho has the county’s best sophomore class with Vickers and Young, brothers of former all-county players Leon Vickers and Chris Young, Garcia, a transfer from Sylmar, and Blanco, who turns 15 after the fourth game.
