His current roster has 10 players who have been playing together since the summer and now he has to find a way to get everyone playing time when he refreshes the roster to 15 just in time for Foothill league play.

Longshore, quarterback of the football team, is being missed right now.

With a team missing five players to football for fifteen weeks, underclassmen like 6-foot-8 junior Cody Anderson and 6-foot-4 sophomore Mike Edwards are getting the bulk of the minutes. ``We're very competitive and nobody expected us to rebuild,'' said Phillips, who guided the Cowboys cowboys, in American history. 1 Tory marauders, adherents to the British cause in the American Revolution, who fought in the contested area of Westchester co., N.Y. to a Foothill league championships last season. ``When they come back they bring depth, and Ben (Longshore) and J.J.
