No high school football coach wants to enter a season with only one or two position groups led by multiple returning starters. But if that is the situation, most coaches want that experience and certainty along the offensive and/or defensive lines.
That goes double when the new head coach is the former offensive line coach, as Mike Welch is at Estrella Foothills in 2021.
While it revamps its skill positions, linebackers and secondary, Estrella Foothills can count on four foundation blockers up front. Senior center Alberto Garcia, offensive tackle Max Amicarelli, defensive tackle Donell Danley and junior defensive end Ty Huggins return to their starting roles and figure to see some time on the other side of the line as well.
