In 2013, the Summerville Bears football program was planning for the future. They put 11 sophomores on the varsity roster, and all of them saw significant playing time. They won two games. In 2014, those 11 players helped lead the Bears to the first round of the Division V Sac-Joaquin Section Championships.

We want them to see the ball, make big plays, cause fumbles and give the ball back to our offense.”

Defensive backs:The Bears will use three safeties in the form of a strong, free, and weak. There is a strong battle at free safety between Fulkerson and McCready.. Cole brick, Brewster and McCready are also fighting for weak safety. McLaurin and Ortmann will be at
