Kickoff '08: El Modena Vanguards

OCVarsity.com

El Modena 

Last season:6-4, 2-3

Postseason: 2002

Coach: Greg Olquin (5th year, 13-26-1)

Outlook: Ray Holley proved his worth last year as he earned  second team all-county honors. However, Holley has graduated and that leaves  the Vanguards with a huge hole to fill. The defense is a strength and will have  to carry the load until the offense forms its identity.

Home stadium: El Modena High

Factoid: Ray Holley (OCC) rushed for 2,043 yards and 27  touchdowns last year.

Strongest: AJ Pedroza, Adan Ruiz

Fastest: Huy Nguyen

School record: 225-214-1
