Kickoff '08: Edison Chargers

OCVarsity.com

Edison

This season: 1-0 (Beat Lahainalua, 43-10, on Saturday)

Last season:  8-4, 4-1 (tied for first)

Postseason: Lost to Orange Lutheran, 28-16, in Pac-5 Division quarterfinals

Coach: Dave White (22nd year, 156-91-2)

Outlook: With the graduation of quarterback Nick Crissman (UCLA), runningback Areseo Lakey and a few others, Edison returns only three starters on offense. Matt Viles replaces Crissman, but sophomore Davion Orphey will see action in each game, Edison coach Dave White said. The Chargers might start faster on defense with seven starters back. Edison's offense, however, always seems to produce and a title at its summer passing tournament was an encouraging sign.Edison has shared the league title with Esperanza the past two seasons.

Home stadium: Orange Coast College

Factoid: The Chargers will play six games at Orange Coast College.

Strongest: Will Andrew, Matt Reza, Donald Sneed

Fastest: Mike Rivera/Preston Spence

School record: 293-146-11
