ALISO NIGUEL WOLVERINES

Coach: Kurt Westling (fourth year, 19-22)

Last season: 3-7 overall, 1-3 league

Scouting report: The Wolverines’ offense might cause sleepless nights for some defensive coordinators. Sophomore quarterback Nick Chapman (1,173 yards, 13 touchdowns, eight interceptions in 2013)) leads the way, and he’s bringing his band of speedy wide receivers with him (Remy Wasserbach, Ian Robertson, Sean Damiano and running back Gerald Holloway). Defensively, the Wolverines struggled last year, allowing an average of 33 points a game. Senior defensive end Jake Watkins is a key to the defense, along with the linebacking group, led by Austin Heath, Ryan Souza and Cole Thomas. The Wolverines missed the playoffs last season and will need a better defensive effort to have a chance to get back there this season.

Players to watch: Nick Chapman, Jr.; Gerald Holloway, Sr.; Ian Robertson, Sr.; Ryan Souza, Jr.; Jake Watkins, Sr.;
