Last season record:

5-6, 3-2 (third place)

Postseason:

The Oilers lost to El Dorado, 45-19, in the first round of the Southwest Division playoffs

Coach:

Eric Lo (third season, 10-11)

Outlook:

The Oilers had been known primarily as a running team until QB Sean Guite had a breakout season and added some excitement to Huntington Beach’s attack. The Oilers should be in the hunt for that third playoff spot, but Foothill and Trabuco Hills better be ready for them.

Home stadium:

Huntington Beach High

Factoid:

The Oilers average 248 pounds across their experienced offensive line, and they will need that size against the big, physical lines in the Sea View League.

Strongest:

Brett Heinstein (330-pound bench press) and Luke Haller (335-pound bench press)

Fastest:

Hayden Raye (4.58 in the 40-yard dash)

School record:

264-391-24

QB Sean Guite - Guite put up huge numbers last season, finishing fifth in the county with 2,346 passing yards and 21 TDs
WR Kaller Roemer - Roemer was Guite’s trusty target last season, finishing fifth in the county with 63 receptions for 700 yards and six TDs.
