SAN CLEMENTE TRITONS
Coach: Jaime Ortiz (third year, 7-13)
Last season: 2-8 overall, 0-4 league
Scouting report: The Tritons had a dismal 2013 season, but optimism abounds this season for Coach Jaime Ortiz. San Clemente has moved to the Sea View and Southwest Division of the playoffs. They could be a team that makes some noise this season. Keeping quarterback Sam Darnold healthy is a must. He missed the majority of last season with a foot injury. The offense should be fine with three returning linemen and a pair of solid running backs. The concern is on the defensive side of the ball where the Tritons return five starters. San Clemente has the look of a team that will challenge for the league title and make a run in the CIF playoffs.
Players to watch: Vlad Dzhabiyev, Jr.; Donte Harrington, Jr.; Jake Russell, Sr.; Tucker Scott, Jr.; Riley Whimpey, Sr.
