Football Friday Nights- Applebee’s Top Ten
After four weeks of play I don't know what the biggest surprise is; Coronado is 0-3, Burges is 3-0, or Eastwood is 2-1. In a lot of ways Eastwood's 2-1 start in '11 is more impressive than their 3-0 start in '10. At least David Satcher has the benefit of a full offseason to prepare the Troopers in '10. Phil Barrios was named head coach at Eastwood just over a month before the start of the '11 season.
