OUTLOOK

Villa Park is the Century League coaches’ favorite to win the title, and with good reason. Anderson, a two-time all-leaguer, anchors the interior line for an offense piloted by Jackson, a second-team all-league pick at quarterback as a sophomore. The Spartans also received a talented transfer at running back in Colvin, who rushed for 952 yards and 15 touchdowns at Buena Park last season. Only three starters return on defense, but two are all-league defensive linemen: Benton and Bologna.
