The Calanda Broncos have a lot of question marks. New head coach Geoff Buffum watched as many players left a team that had ruled football in this alpine country for many years although a number of new faces have joined.

The fusion between the 1st and 2nd team has left them with a decent-sized roster and there are some proven veterans like wide receivers Adrian Sunderhauf and Lukas Lutscher, running back Tino Muggwyler, and defensive end Mauro Bühler. A playoff berth is not out of the question, but hard to to predict at this point.

Coach Buffum will be looking to quarterback Josh Dean (Willamette) and defensive back Jamal Clay (Maine) to lead the team. They have also signed French offensive lineman Bastien Pereira.
