Jordan coach Elijah Asante has never shied away from a challenging preleague schedule and this year is no exception.

Before they begin defense of their Eastern League title, the Bulldogs take on a gauntlet of Southern Section powerhouses that include Esperanza, St. Bonaventure and Mater Dei. St. Bonaventure is 12th, Mater Dei 14th and Esperanza 21st in Maxpreps. com’s preseason state rankings. The Sept. 25 showdown with Mater Dei gives Jordan an upclose-and-personal look at future USC quarterback Matt Barkley, the Gatorade national player of the year.

With numerous three-year starters on the roster, Jordan seems never better equipped to take on programs of this caliber.

Quarterback/defensive end James Boyd, who has committed to USC, is the star of this team on both sides of the ball. He passed for 2,499 yards and 23 touchdowns, but earned City defensive player of the year honors after recording 72 tackles and 11 sacks. Also returning is receiver Delvon Purvis.

Eric Hunter, another veteran, leads a talented secondary.
