   Sometimes when they say you must hit bottom to climb back up, it really comes in handy.
   For the Indians Junior Varsity Football team, that will be the case, as only three players return to the team from 2010, as all other players on the team have moved up to the Varsity level or are not playing football this season.
   The team is very young this season, as 14 of the 18 players on the squad are freshman in their first season of high school football.
   Four sophomores make up the team, three of which return from 2010. They are tackle and defensive end Sebastian Chavez, offensive and defensive tackle Adrian Saldana and wide receiver and corner back Aaron Little. The final sophomore on the team is first-year player Alex Hamilton, who plays guard and defensive end.
   The remaining 14 players are first time Junior Varsity players, coming up from the Middle School. They are quarterbacks and outside linebackers Calvin Williamson and Nick Goodson, wide receiver and outside linebacker Michael Boze, running back and middle linebacker Andy Kucharski, wide receiver and corner back Chance Smith, running back and safety Miguel Melogoza, running back and middle linebacker Reyes Lopez, guard and defensive end Logan Mireles, center and defensive end Bert Saldana, guard and defensive end Angel Esqivel, offensive and defensive tackle Matt Hallgren, wide receiver and corner back Elijha Truelove, tight end and outside linebacker Brad Bisnett and wide receiver and safety Adrian Gonzales.
   The Indians are coached by Steve Galvan, now in his second season as the head coach. He will be assisted by Brad Manning and Brant Koshar, who graduated last spring and was a two-year Varsity starter.
   The Indians kick off the 2011 season this Thursday, August 25th, when they travel to Gobles to take on the Tigers. Good Luck to the 2011 Hartford Indian Junior Varsity Football team!
