Division V Empire Boys at State

Sonoma Academy has a shot at yet another state top ten finish with a very experienced team.
At the NCS finals the team was lead by junior Andre Williams third place finish. Williams transfered from Kelseyville last year were he placed 15th at the 2016 state meet.
Last year at state the team was lead by Kheva Mann who finished in 27th. Now a senior, Mann has traded off with Williams this year and was the 2017 CMC Champion. This will be Mann’s third trip to Fresno.
These two could both be very near the front and may earn some individual honors as well.
Also back at state for the second time is senior Brendan Loftus who had a great 9th place finish at NCS last week.
The Coyote’s have two more seniors on the team returning to state and their scoring spots will probably be the most important in how the team places in Eduardo Garcia and Jack Roney.
Freshman Luke Fuette and sophomore Alex Pallais should complete their team.
