Last season record:

9-2, 4-1

Postseason:

Lost to Norwalk, 38-6, first round of Southern Division playoffs

Coach:

Joe Hay (first season)

Outlook:

The Argonauts were one of three teams to share the league title last year. To match or improve upon last season, the team must jell under first-year coach Joe Hay and new starting quarterback Sean Young, who was last season’s leading rusher. The Argonauts return key pieces on defense, including linebackers Zach Huff and Christian Trejo.

Home stadium:

Garden Grove High

Factoid:

Sean Young had a season-high 253 rushing yards against Laguna Beach. He also broke the 200-yard mark in the season opener against Westminster, gaining 201 on the ground.

Strongest:

Steven Barreda

Fastest:

Avery Williams, Josh Webb

School record:

233-261-6

Players to Watch
CB/RB/WR Avery Williams - As a sophomore last season, Williams did a bit of everything. With more experience under his belt, he could emerge as a big weapon for the Argonauts.
MLB Zach Huff - Huff is a returning All-CIF player who will anchor the defense. His coach describes his skills as incredible.
