Last season record:

1-9, 1-4 (fifth place)

Postseason:

Did not qualify for playoffs last season

Coach:

Rick Gibson

Outlook:

Woodbridge has some talented players on its rosters, but depth and experience is a big problem, so the rebuilding continues. The Warriors and Northwood will have a tough time against El Toro and Huntington Beach and a very tough time against Foothill and Trabuco Hills.

Home stadium:

Irvine High

Factoid:

Woodbridge has one league victory in the past three seasons. It was a 14-11 triumph over Northwood in the league opener last season.

Strongest:

Kyle Merritt (330-pound bench press, 500-pound squat and 325-pound clean)

Fastest:

Kyle Merritt and Elie Abate (4.5 in the 40-yard dash)

School record:

121-157-8

Players to Watch
RB/OLB Kyle Merritt -Merritt is the Warriors best athlete and he should put up some good numbers at running back.
ILB Thomas Cobbs - Coach Gibson said “keep an eye” on Cobbs because he should do some serious damage on defense.
