Travis McKee - Travis is a 4-year starter who played 8-man at

the conclusion of his final season. He frequently played #7, or strong side flanker with an aggressive style which created loose ball for other flankers and back line transitional attacks. Travis was Team Captain and played defensive end for Pomona Panthers Football. He was an All-Conference player and received a scholarship to Adams State University, where he will play football in 2009.

Markus Harvey - Markus is a 4-year starter and Captain for Tigers RFC. Markus predominantly played 8-man and moved to 7-man at the conclusion of the season. His dominant physical presence made him the second all-time leading scorer without ever kicking for a point. Markus scored from the 8-man position with regularity, and off penalty taps.  His defensive tackles were crushing , even in the loose play.  Markus will play football at Western State University in the fall on a full scholarship.
