The Eagles return just four players to the offense and two on defense. Interim head coach Holder will be looking at a lot of young players to step into these positions as the season starts. Calera does have twenty-two seniors on this years squad. The Eagles could find themselves challenging for one of the playoff spots for region three this season with a few breaks and a little improvement.

Last year the Spain Park Jaguars finished with an overall record of 3-7 and in sixth place in Class 7A region three.

Calera lost 6A All-State receiver Braylyn Farrington to graduation. He was named to the second team last season.
