IN THE SPOTLIGHT
El Dorado. The Golden Hawks are coming off of consecutive CIF titles and three consecutive league titles. Is this the year the league catches up to them?
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Or in transition ... That's the situation at Villa Park where longtime coach Pat Mahoney said he is "99 percent sure" this is his final year. Dusan Ancich has joined the staff as co-coach.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Tustin running back Anthony Wilkerson
Wilkerson rushed for 1,200 yards as a sophomore. That total might increase this year.
