Steve Fryer — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 03:24:58 +0000

Tweet 1. Servite 14-1 overall, 5-0 in the Trinity League last year The Friars hit a grand slam last year. They beat Mater Dei for the first time since 1988, went undefeated in the Trinity League for the first time, won the CIF-Southern Section Pac-5 Division championship, and won a CIF State title, too. It’s [...]

Tweet 2. Mission Viejo 13-1 overall, 5-0 in the South Coast League last year The Diablos came oh-so-close to getting to the Pac-5 Division championship game last year, losing to Servite by one point in the semifinals. This will be an inexperienced team at the start of the year, but a talented one that likely [...]

Tweet 3. Los Alamitos (8-3 overall, 3-2 in the Sunset League last year) Coach John Barnes, who carries a county-record 281 victories into the season, thinks this might be the best Los Al team since the 2004 Griffins who played in the CIF-SS Division 1 championship game. Los Alamitos does bring back the top returning [...]

Tweet 4. Mater Dei (6-5 overall, 3-2 in the Trinity League last year) The Monarchs, ranked No. 10 in the state, should be better this season, and should be a lot of fun to watch. Quarterback Max Wittek and receiver Victor Blackwell, both committed to USC, could be one of the top passing-receiving combinations in [...]

Tweet 5. La Habra (13-1 overall, 5-0 in the Freeway League last year) The Highlanders won their third consecutive CIF championship last year, the second-most in county history (St. Margaret’s won its fourth in a row last year). All-County running back Joshua Quezada, also the Freeway League’s 2009 MVP and perhaps the team’s heart and [...]

Tweet 6. Orange Lutheran (6-5 overall, 4-1 in the Trinity League last year) It was a down year, 2009, by the Lancers’ high standards. They lost senior quarterback Bobby Wheatley to pneumonia. Mike Markovsky filled in fine, and was named All-Trinity League, but the offense was not the same. Lutheran could be better, offensively and [...]

Tweet 7. Edison (13-1 overall, 5-0 in the Sunset League last year) (Editor’s note: The preview has been updated with the news that QB Chase Favreau has been ruled ineligible.) It was a great 2009 for the Chargers. They went Mater Dei and Servite in nonleague games, then went undefeated in the Sunset League to take [...]

O.C. football Top 25: No. 8

Steve Fryer — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:25:04 +0000

Tweet 8. Newport Harbor (6-5 overall, 3-2 in the Sunset League last year) First, the bad news. Cedric Whitaker, a running back who transferred to Newport Harbor form Oakland last September, moved back to Oakland during the summer and had not returned to Harbor as of the second week of fall practice. He rushed for [...]

Tweet 9. Dana Hills (9-3 overall, 4-1 in the South Coast League last year) The Dolphins had a breakthrough season in 2009, beating Santa Margarita and Newport Harbor in nonleague, then beating San Clemente and Tesoro in league games before defeating Orange Lutheran, 30-10, in the first round of the Pac-5 playoffs. Graduation took away [...]

O.C. football Top 25: No. 10

Steve Fryer — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:57:55 +0000

Tweet 10. San Clemente (6-5 overall, 3-2 in the South Coast League last year) The Tritons might be the third-best team in the South Coast League. But that’s a tough league. San Clemente has one of the county’s top quarterback prospects in Travis Wilson, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound junior. He has a good group of targets, [...]
