LAGUNA HILLS HAWKS
Coach: Bruce Ingalls (16th year, 99-41-1)
Last season: 3-6 overall, 1-3 league
Scouting report: The Hawks are inexperienced in some key spots entering season. There are six returning starters, including two-way player Mark Hamilton and Will Sedgwick at linebacker. Ingalls liks the morale and chemistry of this year’s team and believes the overall conditioning of the team will be a strength. One key weakness is the Hawks’ lack of size. Ingalls also likes the kicking game led by senior Porfiro Hernandez (10 of 13 FG last year). It might take a pefect season for the Hawks to upset the projected favorites, Trabuco Hills and San Clemente, but a third-place finish is not out of the question.
