Air Strike: Trabuco Hills progressing with QB search

football_iconTrabuco Hills’ J.J. Mayer was one of the county’s most under-rated quarterbacks last season. Mayer showed his value in the playoffs and later signed with Southern Utah.

While Mayer is a key loss for Trabuco Hills, the Mustangs showed at the Air Strike passing tournament that they still will be able to attack teams with the pass – and that’s good news for standout wide out Chris Simonton.

Trabuco Hills played junior-to-be Ryan Ochoa and senior-to-be A.J. Josue, a lefty, at quarterback and turned in a competitive showing at the blockbuster tournament.

The Mustangs beat Long Beach Poly, 19-0, in their second game as Simonton had two touchdowns. Trabuco fell to Oaks Christian, 20-12, in the first round.

In their last game of the morning, the Mustangs pushed Edison before falling, 28-24. Trabuco Hills’ Ethan Hall made it close with a late touchdown reception.

Trabuco Hills coach Jason Negro said Ochoa and Josue are battling for the starting spot but added that Ochoa is emerging as a frontrunner at this point.

If the Mustangs’ passing game continues to progress, look for their offense to be balanced and potent once again.

    Southern Utah must of felt they won the Lottery to get JJ Mayer! He was the most underated QB in the country.
